Susan Woodward (born 1944) is a British animation and fine artist, who worked on a number of seminal animated films and TV series from the 1960s through to the 1990s. These include The Beatles: Yellow Submarine (film 1968)[1], Jackson 5ive (TV series 1971-1972), Raymond Briggs’ When the Wind Blows (1986 film) for director Jimmy T. Murakami, and Space Jam (1996) for Warner Bros. Between 1986 and 1995, she worked almost exclusively for Amblin Entertainment, Steven Spielberg’s animation company on An American Tail (1986), Robert Zemeckis Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), as Team Leader An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) [2]and Balto (film 1995).
Personal Life
[edit]Woodward (née Lakin) was born in the Stoneygate suburb of Leicester in 1944.
At school she showed an interest in, and an aptitude for, art history and fine art. She met sculptor and her future husband Malcolm Woodward in 1963 at Leicester College of Art, shortly before attending the Rolling Stones’ first ever solo show in the city at De Montfort Hall, January 1964.
At the same time, Woodward was exposed to the sounds of American Blues artists such as Leadbelly, Fats Domino and Big Bill Broonzy, via a friend's imported record collection. This experience fostered a life-long love of rock and roll alongside her artistic endeavours. Indeed, many of her contemporaries in London, where she moved in 1966, first to the King's Road and then Ladbroke Grove, were also peers and art school graduates, including Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Ray Davies, Eric Clapton and Freddie Mercury. The emerging scene in London during this period found its stylistic expression in art, fashion, music and, of course, animation, resulting in the landmark release of Yellow Submarine in 1968, on which Woodward was a trace and paint artist.
Woodward was a team leader, assistant animator and inbetweener across a number of film and TV titles over the following 30 years, balanced with her personal work as a painter and successful portrait artist.
Susan Woodward has a son and daughter with Malcolm Woodward and lives in West London.
