At the time of his death he was costume designer on One for the Money featuring Katherine Heigl and John Leguizamo. Heigl had this to say upon hearing the news:

It was an honour and a privilege to work with Michael. I am heartbroken by his sudden passing as is everyone here on the film. My love and prayers go out to his family and friends. I pray they are surrounded by much love, grace and compassion during this time of grief and loss. I will never forget Michael and his wonderful, passionate, talented spirit.

Just a few days ago Michael Dennison had received a Primetime Emmy nomination for his authentic period designs on Georgia O’Keeffe, a TV movie about the acclaimed American artist starring Joan Allen.
