Dana Andrews

Initial concept discussions about scenery for Bright Promise (1969) between producer Gloria Monty and production designer Hub Braden concentrated on the series' stage set's wall color related to the series star Andrews (age 60 at the time). The final overall set color, hue, solution had to have a rose tint for stage-set wall bounce-lighting reflections. The bounce light from the rose-beige set wall color would enhance any actor's facial make-up for camera appearances. The color solution was to make Andrews look younger for "camera." Braden was asked to take over Angela Lansbury's CBS TV series La signora in giallo (1984). Braden used the same "Dana Andrews' rose-beige tinted wall color scheme" in determining the painted color for any stage set, and location set, built that Lansbury (63 in 1988) appeared in on her series role as "Jessica Fletcher.".
