About Walter M. Scott
- Walter M.
- Scott (November 7, 1906, Cleveland, Ohio – February 2, 1989, Los Angeles, California) was a set decorator who worked on films such as The Sound of Music and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Scott enjoyed a spectacular career in Hollywood, working on over 280 films.
- He won six Academy Awards for set decoration, and was nominated for an additional fifteen. He started off working in B-movies in 1939, and by 1945 he had graduated to higher profile projects such as The Dolly Sisters.
- His first Academy Award nomination came in 1950 for Joseph L.
- Mankiewicz's drama All About Eve.
- Scott's six Academy Awards were for the elaborate reconstruction of Ancient Rome in both The Robe (1953) and the big-budget Cleopatra (1963), for his equally elaborate recreation of the Siamese royal household for The King and I in 1956, for a much starker portrayal of the tiny cramped spaces occupied by a Dutch Jewish family in wartime Holland in The Diary of Anne Frank (1959), for the futuristic settings of Fantastic Voyage in 1966, and for a rich tapestry of turn-of-the-century colour in Hello, Dolly! in 1969.
- His last film was Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies in 1973.
