Urban designed extensively for the "Ziegfeld Follies" (Ziegfeld was the producer of the original Show Boat), and the Metropolitan Opera. Originally an architect, Urban designed Mar-a-Lago, an estate in Palm Beach, FL, for Marjorie Merriweather Post. This National Historic Landmark is now owned by Donald Trump, and has been renamed the Mar-A-Lago Club, as seen on The Apprentice. Also a renowned lighting designer, the color gel Urban Blue (Roscolux #81) is named after Joseph Urban.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
