MAKEUP MAN - MICHAEL WESTMORE JAKE PAGE KARTONI...

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.
