Роберт Ф. Бойл

Robert Francis Boyle was an American film art director and production designer. Born in Los Angeles, Boyle trained as an architect, graduating from the University of Southern California. When he lost his job in that field during the Great Depression, Boyle found work in films as an extra. In 1933 he was hired as a draftsman in the Paramount Pictures art department, headed by supervising art director Hans Dreier. Beginning with Cecil B. DeMille's The Plainsman, Boyle went on to work on a variety of pictures as a sketch artist, draftsman and assistant art director before becoming an art director at Universal Studios in the early 1940s.
