Edward Gorey won a Tony Award for his costume design and earned an additional Tony nomination for Scenic Design for Dennis Rosa's 1977 Broadway production of Dracula, which starred Frank Langella and Alan Coates. Particularly well known for his popular animated introduction to the PBS series Mystery, and his playfully imaginative books, self-illustrated with a decidedly ominous Victorian and Edwardian air, Gorey is regarded the greatest American illustrators of the 20th century.
