Active from 1950 to 1992, he was the production designer or art director on more than 50 feature films. He won an Academy Award for Best Art Direction for Sayonara (1957) and was nominated for the same award for five other films: Marty (1955), Some Like It Hot (1959), Pepe (1960), The Longest Day (1962), and 'What a Way to Go!

His first screen credit as art director was in 1951 on Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. He earned his first Academy Award nomination for art direction on Marty (1955). His work on Marty has been described as "an extraordinary example of the monochrome world". He won the Oscar for art direction two year later for his work on Sayonara (1957). Writing in The New York Times, Bosley Crowther touted Haworth's work on Sayonara as "handsome Japanese surroundings—outdoor gardens, graceful, sliding-paneled homes and delicate teahouses, shown in colors of exceptional taste and blend." He was also nominated for the same award for his work on Some Like It Hot (1959), Pepe (1960), The Longest Day (1962), and What a Way to Go! (1964). His other notable works include Friendly Persuasion (1956), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Ride the Wild Surf (1964), The Beguiled (1971), Jeremiah Johnson (1972), and The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea (1976).

He had four children: production designer Sean Haworth, pop artist Jann Haworth, and daughters Maria and Holly. From 1973 until his death in 1993, Haworth lived in Sundance, Utah. He was in an automobile accident in December 1992 and developed a blood clot in his brain. He died three months later in February 1993, at age 75.
