Quotes
  • [to Garson Kanin and Ruth Gordon, who wrote Adam`s Rib (1949), when they went to Gibbons` office to discuss the sets for that film] "You know, this is an historic day. I`ve been at the studio [MGM] for 25 years and this is the first time writers have ever been in my office".
  • "When I find things I like I see no reason to change them. Except women."
    Trivia
  • According to the book "Let`s Go to the Movies!" by Lester Gordon published by Santa Monica Press in 1992, the reason his name appears in over 1500 film credits is as follows: "His 1924 contract stated that every film released by MGM in the USA would give him the credit of Art Director, even though others did the majority of the work."
  • Practically every film classic made by M-G-M between 1924 and 1956 bears his name as art director.
  • He was art director at Metro-Godwyn-Mayer (M-G-M), and its immediate predecessors Metro-Goldwyn Studios and Metro Pictures, for the entire length of his career, and during that time, he worked at no other studio.
  • He was nominated for and won more Academy Awards than any other art director in Hollywood.
  • Uncle of actress Sandra Shaw.
  • One of the 36 founders of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS)
  • Received over 1500 on-screen credits between 1917 and 1956, a record among 20th century filmmakers.
