Artist: John Wheeldon



John Wheeldon's career began as a combat artist during the Second World War and eventually led to Hollywood, where he was employed by MGM and RKO as a staff artist and art director. He did portraits for the TV show, Queen for a Day and was art director at Los Angeles television station, KHJ. Respect for his work was so great, that some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Clark Gable, Kathryn Hepburn and Kirk Douglas, commissioned him to paint their portraits. Likely the proudest moment in Wheeldon's career, though, came when he was given a lifetime contract to paint the official portrait of the winner of each year's Academy Award for best actor and best actress.



John Wheeldon died in 1993, at the age of eighty.
