A rep confirmed to
Variety that Christopher died in his sleep.
Nelson Coates, President of the Art Director’s Guild said, “Roy Christopher was a legendary designer & gentleman who consistently raised the bar for excellence in production design through his career and by mentoring of the next generation of designers. He was a major influencer on popular culture and the visual presentation of our industry to the world.”
After graduating from California State University Fresno in 1957, Christopher began his career as an art director, working on “The Name of the Game” in 1970. That same year, he would work on “Jack Benny’s 20th Anniversary TV Special,” and in 1979, Christopher landed the job of art director at the Oscars, creating the concept design behind the 51st Annual Academy Awards.
