Yul Brynner won Best Actor for his role as King Mongkut of Siam in “The King and I” in 1956. The film also won for Best Art Direction (Color), Best Costume Design (Color), Best Music (Scoring of a Musical Picture) and Best Sound Recording.
The Fox Archives is mandated to collect, catalog, preserve and make accessible the following assets of the 20th Century Fox studios: props, set decoration, photographs, art department and publicity materials from our film and television productions, and from the 20th Century Fox studio itself. We work primarily with internal Fox groups but also from time to time with outside organizations such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.
