Martin Pakledinaz, Costume Designer, Dies at 58
New York Times – by PAUL VITELLO
Martin Pakledinaz, a costume designer who was nominated 10 times for Tony Awards in the last 15 years and won twice, and whose work in opera, dance and regional theater made him one of the most prolific stage craftsmen of his generation, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 58.
The cause was brain cancer, his agent, Patrick Herold, said.
Mr. Pakledinaz (pronounced pack-leh-DEEN-ehz) received Tonys for the 1999 revival of “Kiss Me, Kate,” starring Marin Mazzie and Brian Stokes Mitchell, “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” a 2002 musical based on the 1967 movie with Julie Andrews.
Sutton Foster, who won a Tony Award for her performance in the title role of ‘Millie,’ said Mr. Pakledinaz’s costume designs were integral to her characterization of Millie, a small-town girl who comes to New York in the early 1920s hoping to marry a rich man. Her costumes tell her story, evolving from Kansas City high-necked Sunday-best to New York-girl-Friday attire and then to a series of progressively skimpier outfits designed for the free-spirited dancing of an ever more modern Millie, the flapper.
“My characters were defined from the fabric, the seams, the details of his work, his eye,” Ms. Foster said in a statement on Monday.
Mr. Pakledinaz also designed Ms. Foster’s costumes in the revival last year of “Anything Goes,” for which she won another Tony. He was nominated for a Tony for that production and for seven others, including “Lend Me a Tenor,” “Gypsy,” “The Pajama Game,” “Golden Child” and the 2009 revival of “Blithe Spirit.”
He received his first nomination for “The Life,” a 1997 musical about Times Square prostitutes, and his last for this season’s “Nice Work if You Can Get It,” with Matthew Broderick.
