Dick Smith: The Godfather of Makeup

29/11/2024

Widely regarded as the ‘godfather’ of modern makeup effects, Dick Smith’s extensive career covers such cinematic classics as Little Big Man, The Exorcist, Altered States, Taxi Driver, The Godfather, Midnight Cowboy, Starman, Scanners and Ghost Story. As well as an Emmy, a BAFTA and two Saturn Awards, Smith earned an Oscar in 1985 for his stunning aging makeup on F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus, and an Honorary Oscar in 2011.

Dick Smith: The Godfather of Makeup does a deep dive into Smith’s life and career. Meticulously researched and beautifully presented, it includes many rare images and some previously unpublished Polaroids from The Exorcist.

Written by Joe Nazzaro
Forewords by Guillermo del Toro and J.J. Abrams
Afterword by Richard Taylor

Author Joe Nazzaro worked closely with Dick Smith’s sons, David and Douglas, during the writing of his up-coming biography, Dick Smith: The Godfather of Makeup. They kindly supplied a lot of information and images, including this beautiful portrait of Dick, by his son Douglas, that appears on the back cover.

Dick Smith: The Godfather of Makeup examines Smith’s life and career, from his early student makeups created as a prankster at Yale, to his tenure as NBC’s first makeup department head during the era of live television, and finally his decades-long freelance career.

Joe Nazzaro was such a big part of Prosthetics Magazine, and we're delighted to have had the opportunity to work with him on his major biography of the late, great Dick Smith.

10 years in the making, Dick Smith: The Godfather of Makeup is the most comprehensive look at the iconic makeup legend that’s ever been published.

In addition to extensive first-hand conversations with Smith himself, Joe’s interviews with dozens of friends, family, and co-workers are accompanied by hundreds of rare images, many from Smith’s own archives, including previously unseen Polaroids from The Exorcist.
