Make Up Artists: Westmore Family.





Perc, Wally and Bud Westmore.
The Westmore family, has had four generations as make-up artists since George began Hollywood's, first opened his make-up department in 1917. He understood that cosmetic and hair needs were personal and would make up stars such as:


Mary Pickford, who he curled her famous hair daily by making false ringlets.


















The Talmadge Sisters.


















He fathered three generations of movie makeup artists, beginning with his six sons: Perc, Ern, Monte, Wally, Bud, and Frank. By 1926, Monte, Perc, Ern, and Bud had become the chief makeup artists at four major studios, and all continued to break ground in new beauty and horror illusions.



In 1921, Monte became Rudolph Valentino's sole makeup artist. When Valentino died in 1926, Monte went to Selznick International.














Thirteen years later, he was make up artiest for the film, Gone With the Wind (1939).



In 1923 Perc worked at First National-Warner Bros. and, over twenty-seven years, started beauty trends and disguises including, in 1939, the faces of:




Charles Laughton's, Hunchback of Notre Dame.
















Bette Davis's eyebrow less, white faced look in the film, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex.
















In the early 1920s he blended Stein Pink greasepaint with eye shadow, preceding Factor's Panchromatic. Ern, at RKO from 1929 to 1931 and then at Fox from 1935, was adept at finding the right look for stars of the 1930s.


Wally headed Paramount makeup from 1926, where he created, Frederic March's transformation in, Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde (1931).

















Frank followed him there. Bud led Universals makeup department for twenty-three years, specializing in rubber prosthetics and body suits such as the one used in, Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954).








Together they built the House of Westmore salon, which served stars and the public. Later generations have continued the name, including brothers Michael and Marvin who have excelled in special makeup effects, such as in the films:


Blade Runner (1982).














Mask (1985).



















Raging Bull (1980).

And The Winner Is.... Edith Head.


I think the clothing or costuming in a movie is very important. If the clothing is wrong, especially in a period film, the whole feel of the movie would not be right. So where would we be without wonderful costume designer like, Edith Head? (October 28, 1897 – October 24, 1981), She had a long career in Hollywood, that won the most Oscars by any woman with 8 for her costume designs listed below:

The Heiress (1950)





















Samson and Delilah (1951)




















All About Eve (1951)




















A Place In The Sun (1952)




















The Greatest Show on earth (1953)
(no photo)



Carrie (1953)




















Roman Holiday (1954)

















Sabrina (1955)




















The Facts of Life (1961)
(no picture)



The Sting (1974)


She received a BA in Spanish at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1918 and earned an MA in Romance Languages from Stanford University in 1920 and then became a Language teacher. She wanted to improve her drawing skills so she took evening art classes at, Chouinard Art College.

In 1924, Head was hired as a costume sketch artist at Paramount Pictures, in the costume department. She began designing costumes for silent films starting with film, The Wanderer (1925) and by the 1930s was known as one of Hollywood's leading costume designers. She worked at Paramount for 44 years until she went to Universal Pictures on March 27, 1967, to work for director, Alfred Hitchcock.



Head was originally over-shadowed by Paramount's Head Designers, Howard Greer then Travis Banton. It was only after Banton's resignation in 1938 that she became famous as a designer. Her design of the "sarong" dress made for Dorothy Lamour, in the film,The Hurricane, made her well-known among the women of the era.


In 1944 she designed the top mink-lined gown she was credited with designing for Ginger Rogers in the film, Lady in the Dark.


The institution of an Academy Award for Costume Designer, in 1949 helped her career as it began her record breaking run of Award nominations and awards, beginning with her nomination for the film, The Emperor Waltz.

Head, was well loved by actress because she consulting with them while designing their costumes. Some of her favorite clients were: Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck, Shirley MacLaine, Anne Baxter, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. Head, was frequently 'loaned' out by Paramount to other studios at the request of their female stars. In the 1950s she was famous for her "queen of the shirtwaisters".


She was one of Alfred Hitchcock's favorite costume designers. While filming, Rear Window, sometimes, problems would emerge on set concerning the wardrobe. Like when rehearsing one scene the sheer nightgown that Grace Kelly was wearing, Hitchcock, decided to contact Edith Head and said, "Look, the bosom is not right, we're going to have to put something in there." While in Grace Kelly's dressing room Edith said, "Mr. Hitchcock is worried because there's a false pleat here. He wants me to put in falsies." Grace Kelly said, "You can't put falsies in this, it's going to show and I'm not going to wear them." And Edith said, "What are we going to do?" So they made some adjustments and Grace Kelly stood as straight as possible without her falsies. When Grace Kelly walked out onto the set Hitchcock looked at her and at Edith and said, "See what a difference they make?"

She also worked with Hal Wallis, who was head of production at Warners. His spanned more than fifty years and he was involved with more than 400 movies. Head, had been famous for her work with Audrey Hepburn in the film, Roman Holiday. She designed the costumes for many Jerry Lewis films, while he was at Paramount.

In 1967, she left Paramount Pictures, and joined Universal Pictures, where she remained until her death in 1981. As many of her stars retired, Head became more active as a television costume designer, often designing costumes for film actresses, like Olivia De Havilland, who began working in television series. In 1974, Head won her final Oscar for her work on, The Sting.

During the late 1970s, Edith Head was asked to design a woman's uniform for the United States Coast Guard. Head called the assignment a highlight in her career, and she was awarded the Meritorious Public Service Award for her work. Her last film project was the black and white comedy, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, starring Steve Martin and Carl Reiner, in which she re-created fashions of the 1940s, using film clips from classic film noirs. It was released shortly after her death and dedicated to her memory.

Dark sunglasses became her trademark. Originally the lenses were blue, but later they were dark shades of gray. They were worn to see how the clothing would appear in black and white. The glasses and her unchanging hair style helped her to hide her true age. In the 1920s, she wore a Colleen Moore Dutch boy cut, but in the 1930s she noticed Anna May Wong's style and copied it: flat bangs with a chignon at the back. She would wear it for the rest of her life.

Among the actresses Edith Head designed for were:

Mae West in She Done Him Wrong, 1933, and Myra Breckinridge, 1970, and Sextette in 1979

Frances Farmer in Rhythm on the Range, 1936 and Ebb Tide, 1937

Head received 35 Academy Awards nominations for Best Costume Design for the films:

1949 – Color – The Emperor Waltz
1950 – Black and White – The Heiress – won
1951 – Color – Samson and Delilah – won
1951 – Black and White – All About Eve – won

1953 – Color – The Greatest Show on Earth
1953 – Black and White – Carrie
1954 – Black and White – Roman Holiday – won
1955 – Black and White – Sabrina – won

Note: Although Edith Head won an Oscar for Best Costumes, most of Audrey Hepburn's "Parisian" ensembles were, in fact, designed by Hubert de Givenchy.  Because the costumes were made in Edith Head's Paramount Studios costume department, some felt that doing so created enough of a technicality to nominate Edith, instead of Monsieur Givenchy. Edith Head refused to be shown alongside Givenchy in the credits, so she was given credit for the costumes. Edith Head did not refuse the Oscar.

1956 – Black and White – The Rose Tattoo
1957 – Color – The Ten Commandments
1957 – Black and White – The Proud and Profane

Book: Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design.

I took a peek at this book at Barnes and Noble the other day. It really is a beautiful book. The photographs and costume illustrations are really high quality. There are chapters on costume design for each of the last 10 decades, then there are the gorgeous photos (lots and lots of color),  many sketches, and captions that go along with the images. The captions are quotes from directors, actors and designers. I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who loves movies.

Classic Film and Fashion.

Film has always given us girls fashion ideas. Costumes not only help create a character, but it can start fashion trends. Here is a list of fashion trendsetting movies.


Brooks sleek hairdo and half-naked beaded flapper gowns were perfect for her character in PANDORA'S BOX. The look also worked for for Cyd Charisse and Melanie Griffith, who copied it for their performances in "Singin' in the Rain" and "Something Wild,".


Designer Adrian helped dress MGM queens: Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow, but it was his work in LETTY LYNTON (1932), that showed Hollywood just how much influence it had on the way women dressed. His designs showed off each star's best physical features. For Crawford he created a white organdy dress with shoulder ruffles, more than a million women added the white organdy dress to their own closets. And the broad-shouldered power suits he designed for Crawford became a very popular style with woman. Edith Head once called LETTY LYNTON the greatest influence on fashion in film history.


PAT AND MIKE (1952). This film was a perfect example of Katharine Hepburn liberating image. From her first performance, Hepburn defied convention by dressing like a man, saying her high-waisted trousers, men's shirts and loafers were more comfortable. The look seem to fit perfectly with her characters, which helped changed fashion for women. In 1986 the Council of Fashion Designers of America honored her with a special award. She never took herself too seriously, she accepted saying, "We're in a pretty serious spot when the original bag lady wins a prize for the way she looks."



Grace Kelly and designer Edith Head produced fashion magic in the movie, Rear Window(1954). Alfred Hitchcock wanted Grace Kelly to look, understated and elegant. With Kelly perfectly cast as a fashionable socialite, Head was able to create beautiful designs. From a pale green skirt suit to the floral print dress showed woman of the 50s how to be chic, and a new fashion icon was born.


When Brigitte Bardot sunbathed in her bikini in the film AND GOD CREATED WOMAN, her career began as the "sex kitten. The ballet flats and plunging necklines were soon the rage. And her tousled up-swept hair, is still to this day the height of casual elegance.


The combination of colors and exposed undergarments of Rosalind Russell costumes in the film, AUNTIE MAME (1958). Designer Orry-Kelly, found the glamour in Mame's bohemian lifestyle and her style continues to be popular today.



BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (1961). When Audrey Hepburn ate breakfast while looking in Tiffany’s windows, the little black dress she wore became the staple in many woman's wardrobe. Created by designer, Givenchy. That wasn't the only fashion influence in this classic 1961 comedy, the triple strand pearl necklaces, sleeveless dresses and oversized sunglasses, are still considered the height of elegance even today.



BONNIE AND CLYDE (1967). When Faye Dunaway, looked at Theodora van Runkle's printed scarves, pencil skirts, knitted sweaters, the one time model completely changed her style. "… until I met Theodora, clothes...had just been part of the job," Dunaway once said. "She taught me how much fun it can be." Soon all us girls wanted to look "retro chic". Even the beret, once only worn by Frenchmen and struggling poets, became a hot fashion item. Because of the film, BONNIE AND CLYDE, the '30s look became popular in the 1970s.

Rita Hayworth beauty tips.


Rita Hayworth was a top glamour girl in the 1940s. She was a pin-up girl for military servicemen and a beauty icon for women. At 5'6" she was tall for women of her time and her height was a concern to her movie star dancing partners like Fred Astaire.

Hayworth got her motion picture break because she was willing to change her hair color. She changed her hair color eight times in eight movies.

Hayworth had a unique beauty style. When she became a celebrity she had naturally long nails. "I take care of my nails myself," she said. "I find my cuticle never tears and my nails don't break if I rub cream into them every night." She was once the cover girl of "Nails magazine". In 1940 she started a manicure trend. Hers nails were oval than pointed, and fully covered with hot pink polish. (Previously there was no polish covering the moon of the nail or the tip.)

In 1949 Hayworth's lips were voted best in the world by the Artists League of America. She had a modeling contract with Max Factor to promote its Tru-Color lipsticks and Pan-Stik make-up.

JACK DAWN - make-up artist.




JACK DAWN, a make-up artist whose career spanned over 37 years, during which he worked on more than 200 films. As a boy Jack carved faces in sandstone, using a chisel, a hammer, and a spoon. As he grew older he moved on to to Hollywood, where he found work as an extra. After World War I, he returned to America to work as a make-up assistant and part-time actor. His first creation was a mask he wore in the role of an ape in 1925. After 9 years of research he invented a product he called vinylite resin. It was first used to create the Chinese faces for the cast of: The Good Earth (1937). 2 years later, Jack was hired to do the make up in the film: The Wizard of Oz. In 1943, Jack volunteered to help the San Diego, Naval Hospital, World War II soldiers, whose faces and hands had been disfigured. He made inlays to help patients look normal between plastic surgery operations. Because there were no Academy Awards given for makeup during his career, Jack never received an Oscar.
