 Who was Harry Oliver?

Harry's Hollywood links

 Street Angel

Harry Oliver was twice nominated for the first Academy Awards in set design / decoration. See the images below for enlarged pictures and links to relevant sites. Click on everything.

There are some rich stories regarding Harry's career in cinema, and I'll root'em out as soon as I can. Some may even be true. If you know any, send'em in, eh?

History, Thanksgiving 2002: I worked on a substantial expansion to this site but didn't get around to upgrading this Hollywood stuff then. Bother.
(Update, Christmas 2002: some upgrading is done.)
(Update, Valentine Day 2004: further expansion.)

Note (end of 2002): I'm currently trying (intermittantly) to track down more H.O. filmic images. Please be patient — or contribute your own images, eh?

Update (early 2004): I managed to find a few images online. The quest for more continues. Excelsior!! Never give up hope! Or maybe you could send some?
