With a career that spanned four decades, Walter Plunkett has been celebrated as the fashion designer that can be relied upon to create costumes for the best of MGM and RKO. Having studied law at the University of California, it was a move to New York that inspired him to become both an actor and designer of sets and costumes. Once referred back to California, Plunkett found his first costume design job in 1927's "Hard Boiled Haggerty." Having free reign over RKO, he had won an Academy Award shared with Orry-Kelly and Irene Sharaff for "Gone With the Wind."
