For the Broadway, television, and film world of director Bob Fosse and his wife, the actress, dancer, and choreographer Gwen Verdon, in FX’s Fosse/Verdon, production designer Alex DiGerlando and set decorator Lydia Marks were fortunate to have their daughter Nicole Fosse as an adviser, as authenticity was paramount. Says set decorator Lydia Marks, “We had amazing access to Verdon’s and Fosse’s private life and worked with the Fosse-Verdon legacy. We looked at materials in the Library of Congress, newspapers, movies, stage sets, and still photos of NYC in that era. The most important things were the family stories that Nicole Fosse brought us.”
