A designer who chalked up an astonishing body of work, Marsh was recognized as both a gentleman and a genius, whose brilliance was offset by his unflappable, soft-spoken nature. Marsh got his start in film design as a draughtsman at Pinewood Studios and spent six years during the 1950s there honing his craft. His career as a designer took a huge leap when he was hired by Production Designer John Box to assist him on the design of Lawrence of Arabia. This began a collaboration that went on to include Doctor Zhivago, A Man for All Seaons and Oliver!. Box subsequently encouraged Marsh to go out on his own and establish himself as an independent Production Designer. Marsh relocated to Los Angeles in 1976 to continue his design career in Hollywood. He went on to design a wide range of projects, including A Bridge Too Far, To Be or Not to Be, Havana, Basic Instinct, The Hunt for Red October and Clear and Present Danger. Marsh won Academy Awards for his work with John Box on Doctor Zhivago and Oliver! and a BAFTA Award for A Man for All Seasons. He received his own Academy Award nominations for Scrooge and Mary, Queen of Scots, and BAFTA nominations for Scrooge, A Bridge Too Far and The Hunt for Red October. Looking back on his career, he maintained that all designing starts "with a pencil and a dream." Marsh created complete, immersive, imaginary worlds in an industry before the era of CGI. He believed Production Design should be an invisible art, stating, "If you can see what I've done, I haven't done it well enough." A. TERENCE MARSH. B.
