Biography
Richard Day's film career began in 1918 when director Erich von Stroheim hired him as a set decorator. His work so impressed von Stroheim that the director kept Day as a set decorator, then an art director, and costume designer on many of his productions. Day left von Stroheim and struck out on his own in the '30s. He soon gained a reputation as one of the most imaginative art directors in the business, and he worked often for the major studios on their top-drawer productions. Day won seven Oscars for art direction and set design.
