Art Director Born: 1887 in Newark, NJ Death: 1962 in California Biography:Trained for a career in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, "Robert M. Haas" was thriving in that field of endeavor when he accepted a managerial position at the Lasky Studios in the mid-teens. By the time of the talking-picture revolution, Haas was a well-established Hollywood art director. His longest professional association was with Warner Bros., where he remained until his retirement in 1950. Haas is largely responsible for the aura of "realistic unreality" in Warners' glossy "Bette Davis" vehicles: among these were "Dark Victory" (1939), "Now Voyager" (1941), "Devotion" (1946), "A Stolen Life" (1946) and "Beyond the Forest" (1949). Though he never won an Academy Award, Robert M. Haas shared Oscar nominations for his work on "Life with Father" (1947) and "Johnny Belinda" (1948). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
