Biography

American fashion designer, best known as the longtime partner of Richard Blackwell for nearly 60 years.

During the 1950s, Spencer took up professional hairdressing and became a hairdresser in Beverly Hills. He was a dear friend of actors Cary Grant and Randolph Scott, and even finalized their hair in certain movies. While visiting Spencer, Grant and Scott introduced Richard Blackwell to Spencer. Soon after, the pair established the first Blackwell fashion company in 1958. As Spencer and Blackwell became more popular throughout Los Angeles, Spencer produced Blackwell's ABC Radio show and The Mr. Blackwell Show in 1964. Throughout the entire '60s, '70s and '80s, Spencer and Blackwell designed clothing for many celebrities, including Elizabeth Taylor, Mae West, Nancy Reagan and Jane Russell. Once Blackwell had died in 2008, he gave away Blackwell's last and final designed dress to Kate Linder.

Spencer died from a heart attack in Los Angeles on 1 March 2014, aged 93.
