## Biography

Earl Luick was an American costume designer. He was born on 13 March 1904 in Belding, Michigan, and died on 29 September 2003 in Riverhead, New York.

Luick began his film career as an extra in *Robin Hood* (1922). He showed costume sketches to designer Adrian, who employed him as an assistant on *The King of Kings* (1927).
