Kuter was born in Shannon, Illinois and moved with his family to Los Angeles in 1911, where he graduated from Manual Arts High School.[2] His film career began in 1920, as a draftsman for Famous Players-Lasky. During the subsequent decade, he worked in various (often uncredited) capacities, including as set designer and art director, for multiple studios, including Metro, Universal, RKO, William Fox, and Warner Brothers.[3] He settled at Warner Brothers in 1933 and stayed there for thirty-two years, moving from set designer to assistant art director to art director.[4] During his thirty-two years at Warners, Kuter was the art director of such notable films as Destination Tokyo, Hollywood Canteen, Key Largo, and Rio Bravo. In addition to his credited work, Kuter was active in professional, labor, and educational organizations. He was one of the founders of the Society of Motion Picture Art Directors and served as its president for two terms. Kuter lectured on art direction at the University of Southern California from 1948 to 1956. He also wrote numerous articles for books and journals about his craft.[5] Kuter was married to the former Evelyn Edler (sometimes identified as a silent screen actress) from 1925 until his death. They had two children, one son, television and film actor Kay Kuter, and one daughter, Jeane Kuter Harvey. Leo Kuter died of cancer in Laguna Beach, California, on August 10, 1970.[6] In 1992, his children donated his papers to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library.[7] Credited Filmography
