A former student of the University of Southern California, art director John Meehan was nominated three times for an Academy Award and won each time. He picked up Oscars for William Wyler's 1949 The Heiress, for Billy Wilder's 1950 Sunset Boulevard and for Richard Fleischer's adaptation of the Jules Verne classic for Walt Disney, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954). In between times, he also worked on The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (one of his first films in 1946), and It Should Happen to You in 1956. He is not to be confused with another John Meehan, writer of such films as "Boys Town" (1938).
