Perez recalled that she “took me under her wing and let me shine” early in his career, where he worked with her on films including “The Flintstones,” “Casper,” “Operation Dumbo Drop” and “The Brady Bunch Movie.”

He added that he joined the Costume Designers Guild as Norton’s assistant on the Pamela Anderson movie “Barb Wire.”

“She not only guided me in costumes but in life, she taught me how to work with actors and producers and how to lead a team, she gave me my love of silver jewelry, she was such a light in my life,” Perez continued. “RIP Rosanna, you will be missed. Thank you Rosanna for being my friend and inspiration.”

He listed her many of her other credits: Brian de Palma’s “The Phantom of The Paradise,” “Airplane!,” “Ruthless People,” and “Frankie and Johnnie.”

Norton was honored by the CDG in 2017, where she was honored for her work on more than 50 films, including “The Stunt Man” and Terence Malick’s “Badlands.”
