ONCE UPON A TIME: HOLLYWOOD DESIGN REPORT
In this issue of ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY go behind the magic of ABC’s hit fairy-tale mash-up Once Upon a Time, including which classic characters might be coming to Storybrooke in the future. Plus, Hollywood Design Report, highlighting the talent creating sets, props, and costumes for Once, Les Miserables, Glee, Skyfall, Boardwalk Empire, and more.
SET OF GLEE: DISTRESSING DETAILS
After an exhaustive search, set decorator Robert Kensinger found the janitor’s sink at an L.A.-area salvage yard and paired it with a beat-up cabinet. Though he added crystal glassware from H.D. Buttercup and artwork by Frank Jump and Gérard Uféras, Kensinger was careful not to over-decorate. “As time goes on, things will change, as if Kurt and Rachel went out and bought things or shopped at a flea market,” he says.

Apparently, a photo of mine and a watercolor by Sandra Walker from my book The Fading Ads of New York City (History Press, 2011) that are used for a set in the latest season of Glee are being featured in this week’s EW! Just ordered them online. Can’t wait to read the article.

Notice the fading ad on the wall outside of the window of Finn Hudson’s apartment. Flattering to see the influence my project has had on this set decorator.
That’s fantastic! Though I never figured Finn for the artsy type.
Never watched Glee I must admit. I’m an MSNBC junkie.
Frank, we’re watching the Jan. 24 episode of Glee right now, and we just saw that same photo, but in Rachel and Kurt’s apartment! Somebody in the crew really likes you. It’s at about the 10 minute mark, behind the couch where Rachel and Kurt are talking.
Totally cool! Can you get a good screenshot or is it on TV demand. The Fox site is locked until eight days after initial airing. THANK YOU GLEE Set designers!
