Early lifeTravilla was born and raised in Los Angeles. During adolescence, became interested in art and enrolled at Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. When Travilla was sixteen, he began to frequent burlesque clubs in order to design the dancers' costumes. He sold pencil sketches of costume designs to the showgirls. After inheriting $5,000 from his grandfather, Travilla used the money to travel. He spent a year in the South Seas and Tahiti, an area which influenced his art work and designs. After being designated 4F due to flat feet, Travilla enrolled at Woodbury University where he studied fashion designing.[2] He graduated in 1941. CareerUpon graduating from Woodbury, Travilla began working at Western Costume in Hollywood as ghost-sketcher for studio designers. After a stint at Western, Travilla took a job designing at Jack’s of Hollywood. At Jack’s, he was given assignments working for ice skater and actress Sonja Henie as well as for United Artists and Columbia Pictures. Travilla began selling Tahiti-inspired paintings at the popular tiki bar Don The Beachcomber. Actress Ann Sheridan began collecting Travilla’s work and, shortly thereafter, requested that Warner Bros. hire Travilla as her personal costume designer. His designs for Sheridan were featured in the 1947 film noir Nora Prentiss. The film was a hit and Travilla was hired to design costumes for Sheridan in her next film, the 1948 Western Silver River.[3] After work on several B movies, Travilla worked his way upward through the studio until he earned an Oscar in 1949 for the Errol Flynn swashbuckler Adventures of Don Juan, and in 1951 designed the costumes in the now classic sci-fi tale of morality The Day the Earth Stood Still. He then worked mainly at Twentieth Century-Fox, where his credits included Elia Kazan's Viva Zapata!. By 1952, Travilla had begun working with Marilyn Monroe and created the costumes for Don't Bother to Knock and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. He went on to design the costumes for several more of her films. Travilla created one of the most famous costumes in all of film – the pleated ivory cocktail dress Monroe wore in the 1955 film The Seven Year Itch. Monroe is wearing it while standing on a New York City Subway ventilation grate; the dress rises up around her as a train passes below ground. Photographs of this scene have become synonymous with Monroe herself. The iconic dress, which was later purchased by actress Debbie Reynolds, sold for $4,600,000 (USD) during a 2011 auction.[4] Besides winning his first Oscar, Travilla was also nominated for the Academy Award for How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953, There's No Business Like Show Business in 1954 and The Stripper in 1963. In the late 1970s, Travilla began working mainly in television. One of his most widely seen latter-day projects was the TV mini-series The Thorn Birds in 1983. Travilla was nominated for Emmy awards seven times for his work on television. In 1980, he won the Emmy for "Outstanding Costume Design for a Limited Series or a Special" for The Scarlett O'Hara War, and in 1985 he won the Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Costumes for a Series" for his work on the television show Dallas.[4] Travilla also designed several evening gowns for Lena Horne in the 1980s.[5] Personal lifeOn August 19, 1944, Travilla married actress Dona Drake in Santa Monica, California.[6] The couple had a daughter, Nia, in August 1951.[3] Travilla and Drake separated in 1956 but remained legally married until Drake’s death in 1989. Death and legacyOn November 2, 1990, Travilla died of lung cancer at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.[7] An exhibition of the personal collection of William Travilla began a world tour in 2008. The show began in England, then came to Los Angeles and in 2009 to Palm Springs, California. The collection includes gowns worn by Marilyn Monroe, Dionne Warwick, Whitney Houston, Faye Dunaway, Judy Garland, Sharon Tate, Jane Russell, Betty Grable, Lana Turner, Diahann Carroll, Susan Hayward, Loretta Young, Joanne Woodward, Barbara Stanwyck and many other women in film and television, as well as his Oscar, patterns, sewing room artifacts and numerous original watercolor renderings of his costume designs.[8] References1. ^Willam Travilla biography 2. ^{{cite web |title=Fashion Design |url=https://woodbury.edu/program/school-of-media-culture-design/fashion-design/ |website=Woodbury University |publisher=woodbury.edu |accessdate=June 13, 2018}} 3. ^1 {{cite book |last1=Jorgensen |first1=Jay |last2=Scoggins |first2=Donald L. |title=Creating the Illusion: A Fashionable History of Hollywood Costume Designers |date=2015 |publisher=Running Press |isbn=0-762-45807-0 |page=281}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |last1=Finnigan |first1=Kate |title=Dressing Marilyn |url=http://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG8811806/Dressing-Marilyn-Monroe.html |website=The Telegraph |publisher=telegraph.co.uk |accessdate=June 13, 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web |title=OMCA Collections |url=http://collections.museumca.org/?q=collection-item/2008112 |website=Oakland Museum of California |publisher=museumca.org}} 6. ^{{cite journal |title=The Final Curtain: Marriages |journal=The Billboard |date=September 23, 1944 |volume=56 |issue=39 |page=38 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=PwwEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT37&lpg=PT37&dq=travilla+dona+drake&source=bl&ots=TtDOL92sS3&sig=CxoLkditJgephx7TBVxcadc1zI4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7wbOP6c_bAhWs6oMKHV3MAxE4HhDoATACegQIABAB#v=onepage&q=travilla%20dona%20drake&f=true |publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc. |issn=0006-2510}} 7. ^{{cite news |title=Bill Travilla Dies at 69; Created Film Costumes |url=https://nytimes.com/1990/11/12/obituaries/bill-travilla-dies-at-69-created-film-costumes.html |accessdate=June 13, 2018 |work=The New York Times |publisher=The New York Times Company |date=November 12, 1990 |page=D-9}} 8. ^The Travilla World Tour External links
