Peter Lamont

Peter Curtis Lamont (12 November 1929 – 18 December 2020) was a British set decorator, art director, and production designer most noted for his collaborations with filmmaker James Cameron, and for working on eighteen James Bond films, from Goldfinger (1964) to Casino Royale (2006).

[1] He completed his national service with the Royal Air Force, and upon his return in 1950, was hired by Pinewood Studios.

[1] Throughout his near 60-year career, Lamont was nominated for four Academy Awards for his work on Fiddler on the Roof (1971), The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), Aliens (1986),[2] and Titanic (1997), winning for the latter film.

[3] His last credit was Casino Royale (2006); though he had initially planned to work on the next Bond film, Quantum of Solace, he felt that his age and long affiliation with the franchise would make him incompatible with the director, Marc Forster.

[1] He died from pneumonia and lung disease at Wexham Park Hospital on 18 December 2020, aged 91.
