Albert Wolsky, the Oscar-winning costume designer behind Grease and other classics, has died at age 95. His passing in Los Angeles on 23 May was confirmed by colleagues. The news follows a career that defined Hollywood looks for decades.
Albert Wolsky earned two Academy Awards for All That Jazz and Bugsy. He also received seven Oscar nominations across films like Sophie's Choice and Revolutionary Road. His work on Grease created the iconic 1950s looks for Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, including the black leather outfit that later sold for $162,000 at auction in 2019.
