Pinewood Studios has honoured the legacy of production designer Peter Lamont who sadly passed away last year at the age of 91. He had worked on all but one of the James Bond films from 'Goldfinger' to 'Casino Royale'.
The studio renamed their East Side Complex building to the Peter Lamont Building this month. He was nominated for three Academy Awards for his work on 'Fiddler on the Roof' (1971), 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (1977), and 'Aliens' (1986), all were shot at Pinewood. His fourth nomination, for 'Titanic' (1997), won him the Oscar.
