Headline: A peak behind the Hollywood mask by one of its foremost
makeup artists In Hollywood's heyday, almost every major studio had
a Westmore heading up the makeup department. Since 1917, there has
never been a time when Westmores weren't shaping the visages of
stardom. For their century-long dedication to the art of makeup,
the Westmores were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of
Fame in 2008. In this lively memoir, Michael Westmore not only
regales us with tales of Hollywood's golden age, but also from his
own career where he notably transformed Sylvester Stallone into
Rocky Balboa and Robert DiNiro into Jake LaMotta, among many other
makeup miracles. Westmore's talent as a makeup artist first became
apparent when he created impenetrable disguises for Kirk Douglas,
Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster, Robert Mitchum, and Frank Sinatra for
the 1963 film The List of Adrian Messenger. He later went on to
become the preferred makeup man for Bobby Darin and Elizabeth
Taylor, and worked on such movies and TV shows as The Munsters,
Rosemary's Baby, Eleanor and Franklin, New York, New York, 2010: A
Space Odyssey, and Mask, for which he won an academy award. The
next phase of his career was to create hundreds of alien characters
for over 600 episodes of Star Trek in all its iterations, from The
Next Generation to Enterprise. Replete with anecdotes about
Hollywood and its stars, from Bette Davis's preference for being
made-up in the nude to Shelley Winters's habit of nipping from a
"little bottle" while on the set, Makeup Man will satisfy any
Hollywood's fan's appetite for gossip or a behind-the-scenes look
at how tinsel town's most iconic film characters were created.
Academy Award-winning Michael Westmore has been making up the stars
for over fifty years. He frequently appears on the SyFy channel
show Face Off with his daughter McKenzie Westmore.
