George Jenkins

Designer

Mr. Jenkins also worked extensively in film, winning an Oscar for his memorably hyper-realistic newsroom sets for "All the President's Men." "It was absolutely faithful; he had re-created it down to the trash on our desks," Carl Bernstein told the Los Angeles Times this week. "It was a remarkable achievement." He got another Oscar nomination for "The China Syndrome." Mr. Jenkins frequently worked with director Alan J. Pakula, working on his films "Klute," "Starting Over," "The Parallax View" and "Presumed Innocent," the designer's final movie credit.
