About
Malcom Brown was an art director from 1945 to 1966. Brown worked for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starting in 1937, working alongside the company’s supervising art director, Cedric Gibbons, who valued Brown and his work, giving him some of the more difficult film projects early in his time at MGM. The first film at MGM that Brown worked on was Young Dr. Kildare (1938), and by 1945, he had his first art director position for Bewitched (1945). The biggest moment in Brown’s career was when he won an Oscar for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White, in the film Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956). Brown passed away in 1967 and was inducted into the Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame in 2010.
