Oscar-winning costume designer Julie Harris, who worked with the Beatles during her long career, has passed away at the age of 94. Her death, which occurred in a London hospital on May 30 after what Rolling Stone refers to as “a brief illness from a chest infection,” was confirmed by her friend Jo Botting, senior curator at the British Film Institute National Archive. “In a career that embraced more than 80 films and television productions, as well as several stage plays, Julie worked with some of the greatest international stars in the history of cinema, and for some of its most legendary directors and producers,” said Botting in a statement. “Her outstanding work was constantly nominated for awards. She was an amazing woman.” Harris worked with the Beatles on their A Hard Day’s Night and Help! films and won an Academy Award in 1965 for the film Darling. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com.
