Miles White
The artist, who created the costumes for the original Broadway production of “Oklahoma,” “Carousel” and “Bye Bye Birdie,” was a close friend of ours for the last 20 years of his life. We live with one of his two Tony Awards and a dozen drawings.
He was a top Broadway and Hollywood costume designer. In film he worked on Around the World in 80 Days and The Greatest Show on Earth. He designed Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and the Ice Capades.
