William Travilla was an Oscar-winning costume designer who dressed around 270 Hollywood stars across more than 100 movies and TV episodes.
Often known as just “Travilla,” or “Billy” to his friends, he was born on March 22, 1920 in Los Angeles, California. At an young age, he was enrolled in the prestigious Chouinard Art Institute (now CalArts). Travilla demonstrated tremendous skill and was moved up to the adult classes at only eight years old.
When Travilla was sixteen, each day on his way to school, he passed burlesque clubs. One day, after building up the confidence and giving way to his artistic curiosity, he stopped to go inside and watch the show. He continued to visit, painting and sketching the dancers. It was in these clubs where he designed his first costumes. Not one to miss a trick, Travilla started selling his costume designs to the showgirls. Three designs for five dollars.
In 1941, after traveling and graduating from university, Travilla began looking for work in Hollywood. He landed a job at Western Costume and later Jack’s of Hollywood, designing for several B movies. He was forced to start selling paintings to earn some extra money. His paintings attracted the attention of rising star, Ann Sheridan. She had become a collector of his work and wanted to meet the artist. They hit it off instantly. Sheridan, who was signed to Warner Bros. at the time, brought Travilla on to set as her personal costume designer. After styling Sheridan’s gowns for Nora Prentiss (1947), Travilla grabbed Hollywood’s attentions. He also caught the attention of Errol Flynn. Flynn asked Travilla to work on his upcoming film, The Adventures of Don Juan (1948). Travilla’s work on Don Juan earned him his first of four Best Costume Design Oscar nomination, and his only win.
Travilla stayed at Warner Bros. for five years before moving on to Twentieth Century Fox. It was there that he first met Marilyn Monroe.

Presented in a breezy, conversational tone that will engage teens and make them laugh.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) ★ “Prager delivers a rich exploration of gender identity and sexuality across time and nation…These snapshots—sometimes irreverent in tone, but always respectful of the people and relationships they discuss—offer strong insight into the lives of individuals who broke barriers or simply lived life on their own terms.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) ★ “Written with a pop culture sensibility that will appeal to teen readers, the collection is a fascinating look at history through a different lens than what most history books provide. Hurray for Sarah Prager’s own splendid contribution to queer history!” — Shelf Awareness “A lively and informative introduction to queer history.” — Booklist “Well written, timely, and interesting; the profiles include a thoughtful, varied mix of queer historical figures .... Prager has captured moments from thousands of years of queer history-making in a captivating, illuminating read.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) “Queer, There, and Everywhere is so conversational, fast paced, and infused with pop culture sensibilities that it tricks you into forgetting it’s a series of (incredibly timely) biographies. An absolute must-read for people interested in their queer forebears.” — Meredith Russo, author of the Stonewall Award winner If I Was Your Girl “Accessible, irreverent, and meticulously researched, at times heartbreaking and just as often wildly funny, this stunningly d Queer, There, and Everywhere: 23 People Who Changed the World (Hardcover)
