'Everything just became doubly meaningful because it was actually his,' says costume designer Arjun Bhasin:
Cue up the familiar song "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" and guaranteed, America's Dad, Fred Rogers, and his seminal children's show "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" will spring to mind — and bring all the warm nostalgia with it.
Inspired by a 1998 Esquire cover story and the ensuing friendship between the subject and reporter Tom Junod, the film highlights the direct impact Rogers made on the cultural fabric of America, as well as on individual people, like the fictional Hearst staffer Lloyd . He's a grizzled investigative journalist, who's dealing with daddy issues and "doesn't do puff pieces" — nor believe in voice recorders.
In real-life behind-the-scenes footage, the signature sweaters, in a spectrum of solid colors, became a costume-design endeavor in its own right. Each Christmas, Rogers's mother Nancy hand-knit and gifted him a sweater, which became an integral part of his daily show. Rogers continued to wear the warming layers after she passed away in 1981. By the '90s, his collection began showing signs of wear and tear.
"Then I get to Pittsburgh and I go to see Joanne and she was like, 'I think I have those ties somewhere in a box. I was going to give them to Salvation Army,'" recalls Bhasin. "It was just hilarious and I was like, 'Oh my god, here's this tie we spent two months copying and it's right here in this box because he never threw it away.
"We had started to build it, based on research, and then we were like, 'Wait a second. I think I know where that jacket is.' We found it [from his son]," says Bhasin. "So Tom is actually wearing Fred's jacket. It was pretty special.""I always thought of him as this hip New Yorker," says Bhasin of the character, a new dad who lives in a Manhattan loft and is married to Beth from "This Is Us.
