A talented designer with dementia who created costumes for Hollywood hits like the Mummy series and Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves with her husband during their 40-year career is now showcasing their work at a prestigious new exhibition. Ann Bloomfield, 83, and John Bloomfield, 80, from Dorking in east Surrey, designed outfits for stars like Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Their career took them around the globe, from America to China, Europe, Australia and Africa. The duo worked in perfect harmony together, with John saying: “She’s left-handed and I’m right-handed, so we would lob drawings back and forth between us.”
He added: “Even when she became a housewife to care for our kids, Ann was still always involved. We were working together but were also a family together.”
