- Biography
- Alvin Colt (1915-), award-winning costume and scenic designer for theater, film and television was born in Louisville, Kentucky, studied at Yale, began his design work in ballet, and made his Broadway debut designing costumes for ON THE TOWN in 1944. This was followed by design work for Orson Welles' AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, MUSIC IN MY HEART (1947) and GUYS AND DOLLS (1950) among others. He won a Tony award for costume design for PIPE DREAM in 1956 and designed costumes for both the Broadway and film version of LI'L ABNER. His first work in television was THE ENCHANTED NUTCRACKER (1961), but it was in the 1970s and 1980s that he truly focused on that medium. His work included various awards shows such as the Emmys as well as an historical drama, THE ADAMS CHRONICLES. He returned to theater work in the 1990s and designed for the off-Broadway review FORBIDDEN BROADWAY beginning in 1994. In 1996 he received the Irene Sharaff Lifetime Achievement Award in Costume Design and in 2001 he was inducted into the Theatre Hall of Fame.
