Legacy

At the time of the release of his most widely seen movie, How to Marry a Millionaire, no widescreen movies were being produced in Mexico, and in fact several years passed before such movies would be produced in that country. For this reason, MacDonald was the first Mexican-born cinematographer, and only the second overall, behind fellow 20th cinematographer Leon Shamroy, to film a movie in CinemaScope. In addition, MacDonald was the first Mexican-born cinematographer to be Oscar nominated.
