Autographs of John Mollo

John Mollo (18 March 1931 – 25 October 2017) was a British costume designer and writer on the history of the military uniform. \nHe was best known for creating the costumes for \nGeorge Lucas' epic space opera film Star Wars (1977) as well as Irvin Kershner's sequel The Empire Strikes Back (1980). His accolades include two Academy Awards, in addition to nominations for four BAFTA Film Awards, a BAFTA Television Award, and three Emmy Awards.
Mollo was born in London on 18 March 1931. His father was Eugene Simonovitch Mollo, a Russian immigrant who had escaped Russia in the 1920s, and his mother was Ella Clara Mollo (née Cockell). Eugene Mollo had started his own company that specialised in spraying cement. He was a collector of tin soldiers and military insignia and he wrote a book, Russian Military Swords, 1801–1917. Eugene was also a noted illustrator, and some of his drawings are now held in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. John Mollo followed his father's interest in military history and developed a particular interest in military uniforms from a very young age. He recalled being especially inspired when he saw the 1935 film Clive of India as a child and returned home from the cinema to draw the costume of King George II. John Mollo was educated at Charterhouse School and then went on to study at the Farnham School of Art in Surrey. After World War II, he was conscripted to do his national service in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry in Hong Kong.
Mollo's first marriage was to Ann Farquharson who worked as a set decorator on films such as The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981) and Rob Roy (1995). In 1968 he married Louise Pongracz. The son of this second marriage, Tom Mollo, served as a captain in the Coldstream Guards and as equerry to Queen Elizabeth II.
