Costume designer Lucinda Ballard (1906 - 1993) spent most of her career working in the theatre. In that capacity, she won Tony Awards in 1947 and 1962. She made only two forays into film work, starting with the ghostly fantasy "Portrait of Jennie" in 1948. Three years later, she scored an Oscar nomination for Vivien Leigh's tattered Southern belle costumes and Marlon Brando's undersized T-shirts in "A Streetcar Named Desire". For a while married to lyricist Howard Dietz, she died of cancer in 1993.
