2 3 would team up with Kasdan on two more films starring Kevin Costner, Silverado and Wyatt Earp, both with ambitious builds where entire towns were erected in the middle of the high desert of New Mexico.

Her career spanned 42 years and more than 30 films, highlighted by an Academy Award nomination for Rain Man in 1988. Some of the other projects she has worked on also include highly acclaimed films like Throw Momma from the Train, The War of the Roses, Hoffa, Along Came a Spider, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and the remake of the Roots TV miniseries, just to name a few. In additional to Lawrence Kasdan, Ida had the honor to work with directors Kevin Costner, Brian DePalma, Danny DeVito, Tony Scott, and Barry Levinson. Ida is a trailblazer in a male-dominated industry and her drive to succeed helped pave the way for many aspiring women designers to follow. Who could have known that, as a young woman, her training as a painter and master of color and light would serve her so well in the high-pressured world of filmmaking. Early on in her career, she viewed the process of filmmaking as "making a painting" and this gave her a unique vision that so many learned to trust and admire. Ida Random now splits her time between Santa Fe, NM, and Los Angeles, CA. She had two children, Oscar Mazzola and the late Harlie Random.
