Mary Claire Hannan

Costume Designer

As a movies costumer, Mary Claire Hannan got her big break working on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and developed a realist’s eye to go with the imagination required by the field. Soon, she was the costume designer on the filmmaker’s third feature, Jackie Brown.

More recently, her work as costume designer on Sean Penn’s Into the Wild earned her Costume Designers Guild Award nomination.

Ms. Hannan’s other feature credits as costume designer include Wes Craven’s Red Eye, starring Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy; Jamie Blanks’ Urban Legend; Anthony Drazan’s hurlyburly, which marked her first collaboration with Sean Penn; Dennis Dugan’s Beverly Hills Ninja; Bruce Paltrow’s Duets; Peter Chelsom’s Serendipity; E. Elias Merhige’s Suspect Zero; and Rowan Woods’ Fragments (a.k.a. Winged Creatures), which marked her first collaboration with Josh Hutcherson of The Kids Are All Right.
