Ted Haworth, an Oscar-winning motion picture art director, has died. He was 75.
Haworth, who was a Sundance resident, was in a car accident about three months ago and died Thursday after developing a blood clot in his brain, said a nursing supervisor at the Utah Valley Regional Medical Center in Provo.Haworth, whose given name was Edward, was art director for many movies, including the 1957 film, "Sayonara," for which he received an Academy Award.

Other films he worked on included "Marty" (1955), "Some Like It Hot" (1959), "The Longest Day" (1962), "Batteries Not Included" (1987) and "Mr. Baseball" (1992).
Haworth's marriages to Miriam Severy, Hallie Stagner and Anna Wackevitch ended in divorce.
He is survived by his son, Sean Haworth, daughter Maria Haworth of Los Angeles, daughter Jann Haworth of Bath, England, and three grandchildren.
