Jack Pierce: Universal Man of Monsters

Jack Pierce was truly the king of all monsters. In a fifteen year period at Universal Studios, Pierce brought many of the screen's most legendary horror characters to life, revolutionizing make-up with his singular designs and mysterious techniques that he implemented for the classic monster movies. Coming to make-up later in life, Pierce's remarkable story has equal amounts of triumph and tragedy and bridges the earliest years of silent cinema through the golden age of television.

Treasures of Trade Show 3

Last issue we covered the 1999 International Make-Up Artist Trade Show, but we had so many great pictures that we had to omit due to space. So this issue we would like to share with you some of the wonderful photos from the Museum of Make-Up Arts. Make-up artists and effects labs graciously loan displays for exhibit for the museum at our show. The end result is a tour of Hollywood's most memorable make-up moments. Now it is time for your own personal tour to start. Remember, look but don't touch!

Behind the Scenes on Star Wars Episode 1:

Nick Dudman

Mr. Wizard, I am ready to come home now! Nick Dudman is the wizard of the Phantom Menace and he is ready to come home for a while. He should be, he has been jet setting around the world going from one film to another. That’s the downside to being one of the most sought after make-up artists in England. But with movies like, The 5th Element, The Mummy, and now Star Wars, he won’t be home for long. MA gets a behind-the-scenes look at the aliens Dudman created for Star Wars in this candid interview.

Paul Engelen

MA talks with make-up artist Paul Engelen about his experiences working as the chief make-up artist on Star Wars. Engelen created and applied sinister Darth Maul’s and kabuki-like Queen Amidala’s make-ups, among others, and worked closely with Nick Dudman to help create the look of the Star Wars creatures.

The Fashion World of Vincent Longo

Vincent Longo is one of the most sought after make-up artists in the fashion and print arena. His line of cosmetics is stealing the scene in high-end department stores like Barney’s New York and Bloomingdale’s. A native Australian, he also lived in Italy with his family before make-up work brought him to New York, where he has been for the past 10 years. Join MA as we talk with Longo about his early years as a make-up artist, his new line and his plans for the future.

Issue 016 The Wizard of Oz – a 60th Anniversary Celebration:

Return to Oz

Although it’s been sixty years since MGM produced The Wizard of Oz, its unforgettable characters still remain a point of fascination for make-up artists and cinema fans in terms of conception and ex*****on. Though sharing information about the artists and the creation of the characters was not widespread at the time the film was made, some noteworthy details have surfaced in the decades since. In this article MAshares those details with you: from anecdotes about each of the principle characters, to test make-up photographs.

A Tribute to Oz

Bill Corso spearheaded the re-creation of the make-up from The Wizard of Oz for a tribute to the movie done at the Mann’s Chinese Theater for the world release of the “special edition” in 1998. In this article he shares his experiences recreating the make-ups and his insights into how the original movie was made. As Corso himself says, “It’s a fascinating process to recreate something and then compare the similarities and differences. There are always those minute details that we wish we could change, but when the overall response is amazement, you just have to smile and know that next time it will be better. I suppose Jack Dawn may have had similar thoughts in 1939, but here in 1998 it was an honor for all of us to have walked in those great footprints on the Make-up Walk of Fame.”

Field Trip to Orlando

This is the second article (for the first see Issue 6) in a series focusing on the different make-up communities around the world. The first community we visited was in chilly Canada, this time we head to sunny, humid Florida. It is much easier to appreciate the uniqueness of one’s own community when you understand the uniqueness of others. Our trip to Orlando confirmed this once again. Join MA as we tour the make-up communities of Florida and as we discuss the seven stages in developing a make-up community.
