Anthea Sylbert (née le 6 octobre 1939 à New York) est une costumière, productrice (de cinéma et de télévision) et scénariste américaine.

Biography

Comme costumière, Anthea Sylbert contribue au cinéma à vingt-et-un films américains (ou en coproduction), depuis The Tiger Makes Out d'Arthur Hiller (1967, avec Eli Wallach et Anne Jackson) jusqu'à FIST de Norman Jewison (1978, avec Sylvester Stallone et David Huffman).

Entretemps, citons Rosemary's Baby (1968, avec Mia Farrow et John Cassavetes) et Chinatown (1974, avec Jack Nicholson et Faye Dunaway) de Roman Polanski, Les Cowboys de Mark Rydell (1972, avec John Wayne et Roscoe Lee Browne) et Julia de Fred Zinnemann (1977, avec Jane Fonda et Vanessa Redgrave).

Puis elle est productrice de six autres films américains, le premier sorti en 1984 ; le dernier est Amour et Mensonges de Lasse Hallström (avec Julia Roberts et Gena Rowlands), sorti en 1995.

Pour la télévision américaine, Anthea Sylbert est costumière sur deux téléfilms (1973-1977) et productrice exécutive de quatre autres téléfilms (1995-1999), collaborant aussi aux deux derniers comme scénariste.

Enfin, au théâtre, elle est costumière de deux pièces mises en scène par Mike Nichols et représentées à Broadway (New York), Comédie privée de Neil Simon (1971-1973, avec Peter Falk et Lee Grant), ainsi que The Real Thing de Tom Stoppard (1984-1985, avec Glenn Close et Jeremy Irons). Observons ici qu'elle retrouve Mike Nichols sur trois de ses réalisations, dont La Bonne Fortune (1975, avec Stockard Channing et Jack Nicholson).

Au cours de sa carrière, entre autres distinctions, elle obtient deux nominations à l'Oscar de la meilleure création de costumes (sans en gagner), respectivement pour Chinatown et Julia précités.

Et pour la pièce également précitée The Real Thing, elle obtient une nomination au Tony Award des meilleurs costumes.

Mariée en premières noces au directeur artistique Paul Sylbert (né en 1928), elle reste connue sous ce nom après leur divorce, bien qu'elle épouse en secondes noces en 1985 l'acteur Richard Romanus (né en 1943).

When her wish is finally granted, Molly leaves her job coaching girls' track at an affluent high school (Prescott High School) to take over a football team at an inner-city high school (Central High School)--the kind of place where guard dogs are needed to patrol the campus.

At a loading dock in Cleveland, Ohio in 1937, supervisor Mr. Gant welcomes a new worker, Lincoln Dombrowsky (Frank McRae). Gant tells him the job requirements and pay rules.
