Tony Strong, 102, scenic artist,worked with Ridley Scott, Ken Russell, &c

[Mig.Rhodes]

Tony Strong, who has died aged 102, was a scenic artist who created
convincing worlds for films, theatre and television; he was equally
adept at delicate foreground details such as the tarot cards in the
Roger Moore film Live and Let Die as he was at enormous backcloths, such
as the 1314ft-long, 40ft-high snowscape for Sidney Lumet’s Murder on the
Orient Express, or the eerie mountains behind the Overlook Hotel in The
Shining...

He created the tarot cards for the Bond film Live and Let Die – and had
a nasty moment when he spotted the shark tank had sprung a leak
