died on Dec. 8 at the age of 96. His wife of more than 40 years, Susan, was by his side. Some of his prominent credits included production work on “Bullitt,” “The Turning Point,” “Beaches,” “Sunshine Boys” and “California Suite.”
Brenner’s talent was well-respected within the industry, notching him five Academy Awards nominations for best art direction throughout his long-spanning career, for “Beaches,” “California Suite,” “Sunshine Boys,” “The Turning Point” and “2010: The Year We Make Contact.” Brenner worked on 57 films across four decades in the entertainment industry.
Born on February 17, 1926 and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Brenner started his professional career when he moved to Connecticut for college, attending the Yale School of Drama. His training at the drama school became invaluable when he returned to New York to work as a production designer, starting with commercials and before moving into live television and feature films. In the 1960s, Brenner moved his family to Los Angeles as he began working on motion pictures full-time.
Brenner often spent weekends painting and sculpting, while he and wife Susan split their time between Los Angeles and Pietrasanta, Italy. In Italy, Brenner studied sculpting with master artisans. Brenner is survived by his wife Susan, his children David, Kathryn, Faye, Rachel, Mara and six grandchildren.
