Biography

He was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Art Direction for the film Driving Miss Daisy.

While scouting artists and locations for the film Blood In, Blood Out (1993), directed by Taylor Hackford, he came across the paintings of artist Adan Hernandez, and his role in that film brought him to national attention.

Rubeo died of pneumonia on 3 November 2011 at the city hospital in Foligno, Italy. He is survived by his wife Mayes C. Rubeo, a highly acclaimed costume designer, and a son, who is also an art director.
