Hugh B. Johnston Hugh B. Johnston, 85, of Princeton, died August 18, 2015. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pa. on October 17, 1929. He graduated from Shady Side Academy in 1947, and Dartmouth College earning a bachelor’s degree in English in 1951. Hugh subsequently enlisted in the Army, and attended the Army Language School i n Monterey, C a l ifor n ia where he studied Russian. Moving to New York in the mid-1950s, he pursued his interests in writing and photography, and worked at Industrial Design magazine
along with his future wife Suzanne Burrey (Johnston). After marriage in 1958, they moved to Princeton and worked for On Film, Inc., a pioneering film production company located on Spring Street. In 1965, Hugh and Suzanne formed their own company and proceeded to make more than 60 films. Many of the films involved travel, and whenever possible, Hugh and Suzanne brought their children (Huguette, Claire, and Frances) along believing in the importance of exposure to a variety of cultures. Hugh and Suzanne were great storytellers, with Hugh focusing on photography and editing. Many of their films focused on children and education. Hey, Cow was part of the first episode of Sesame Street (1969). Hugh and Suzanne Johnston’s most acclaimed film was Mystery of the Maya. This documentary captures the re-discovery of a Mayan temple in southeastern Yucatan, Mexico, which had been “lost” for 60 years. Included on the discovery and filmmaking team was Gillett Griffin, curator of pre-Columbian Art at Princeton University. He became a lifelong friend. Mystery of the Maya, narrated by Ricardo Montalban, was first broadcast in April 1974 on PBS. The film, Sculpture in the Open, commissioned by Princeton University in the early 1970s, covered the installation of outdoor sculptures on the Princeton campus. The film covers the installation of significant works by Calder, Moore, Nevelson, L ipch it z, and

Picasso. The Pueblo Presence, another one-hour PBS special, features ceremonies, pilgrimages, and pottery making of the Pueblo tribes in the U.S. Southwest. Michael Dorris, an anthropologist, wrote, “I have never viewed a film with greater breadth, sensitivity or visual excitement, focusing on one set of tribes.” In the community, Hugh was involved in a number of media-related activities over the years. He was an active par ticipant in the creation of Princeton Community Television, the public access cable station. He enjoyed screening his films in the community and at home for his friends. He was dedicated to his family, loved to travel, and made friends easily. Hugh was predeceased by his dear wife and artistic collaborator Suzanne B. Johnston in 2011. He is survived and missed by his daughters, Huguette Johnston; Claire Johnston; and Frances Johnston and her partner Laura Peck; and grandchildren Lucas and Miguel Johnston-Peck. ———
