Oscar-winning costume designer Julie Harris has died in London from a chest infection. She was 94.

Harris designed clothes for James Bond films “Live and Let Die” (1973) and “Casino Royal” (2006) as well as the Beatles' “A Hard Day's Night” and “Help.”

She won an Oscar in 1966 for Julie Christie’s film "Darling” (1965).

“I must be one of the few people who can claim they have seen John, Paul, George and Ringo naked,” the BBC quoted Harris as saying after working with the Beatles in 1965.

“Julie worked with some of the greatest international stars in the history of the cinema, and for some of its most legendary directors and producers,” her friend Jo Botting said.
