Partnering with me in realizing this huge
assortment of sets, set decorator Lisa lkofer
achieved miracles large and small week after
week with her phenomenal team (leadperson
Cheryl Strang. Like me, Lisa was stimulated by
the varied styles and textures of the scenery and
brought everything from huge sets to the smallest
fragments of environments to life with her keen
eye, deep experience and discerning choices.
There was not a single day through the long
haul that I didn't see someone—set dresser,
propmaster, plasterer, sign painter, or PA—
bringing something extra, unexpected, special to
the whole. At times, joking about myriad ways in
which the birthing pains of The Godfather seemed
to be echoed in making the series, we became
functionally another transitory family brought
together through making film, collecting war
stories for future sharing.
Everyone with a different version of the same
story. ADG
