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. \u003cbr\u003eWestmore’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 \u003ci\u003eThe List of Adrian Messenger\u003c\/i\u003e. 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Munsters\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRosemary’s Baby\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEleanor and Franklin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew York, New York\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2010: A Space Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMask\u003c\/i\u003e, 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 \u003ci\u003eStar Trek \u003c\/i\u003ein all its iterations, from \u003ci\u003eThe Next Generation\u003c\/i\u003e to\u003ci\u003e Enterprise\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003eReplete 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, \u003ci\u003eMakeup Man\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcademy Award-winning Michael Westmore has been making up the stars for over fifty years.
