Nelson Coates, president of the ADG, said, "Jeannine is one of our most treasured Production Designers whose 40-year career continues to flourish, right up to the current Best of Enemies. She is a most deserving recipient of our Lifetime Achievement Award. We are proud to honor her outstanding career and cinematic contributions."
Jeannine has received four Academy Award nominations for Best Production Design – for L.A. Confidential, Pleasantville, Seabiscuit and The Good Shepherd. This is a remarkable achievement for someone who has concentrated on films set in the 20th century. Other memorable films she designed include Wonder Boys, Rules Don't Apply, Snow Falling on Cedars, Catch Me if You Can and Bridges of Madison County. In all, Jeannine has designed more than 40 films.
Her very first film was Paul Schrader's Blue Collar. Tender Mercies starring Robert Duvall was her earliest movie as Production Designer and remains one of her favorites. Jeannine began her career working for the Office of Charles and Ray Eames, best known for their now iconic furniture, where she helped organize and design museum exhibits.
