Who are some of your favourite special effects wizards and make-up artists?
Do you have favourite creations by certain artists?
Thanks!

Two of the best "age" makeups of the early '40s, or of any decade, for that matter: Barbara Stanwyck in The Great Man's Lady (1942)   The credited artists were Robert Ewing and Wally Westmore, but this is likely the work of uncredited Charles Gemora. Roger Livesey in The Life and Death Of Colonel Blimp (1943)   George Blackler and Dorrie Hamilton, credited; Stuart Freeborn, uncredited. |

Jack Pierce, he has created so many make-ups that is nowdays part of modern folklore.  The Don! |

I like those in John Landis' 'Coming To America' to age Eddie Murphy & Cleveland Browns fan Arsenio Hall ... not to mention the hair stylists mounting deliciously moist jheri curls on Eriq La Salle ...  |

Rick Baker helped deliver some of horror cinema's greatest creations, as well as modern video's most famous spinner, Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.  |

And not to forget The Lord of the Rings, especially Gollum, who is an entire CGI character.  |

Stan only filled in when Bottin was overworked and did one dog model...albeit it a good one, though not sure if it was much of a collaboration. Winston was just drafted in for that one job. Bottin's work on The Thing (my favourite film) is amazing. Always loved his work on The Howling as well, and his Darkness make-up for Tim Curry in Legend is stunning. Rick Baker and Stan Winston are also legends in the field, but a couple who always seemed to be forgotten.... Giger may have designed the Alien, but Carlo Rambaldi brought it to life. And although dated, Christopher Tucker's work on A Company Of Wolves is very interesting. Away from make-up, Douglas Trumbull's work on CE3K wowed me more as a kid than Star Wars did. And the godlike Harryhausen's work probably drew me to being interested in film more than any other filmmaker. |

Carlo Rambaldi--Rick Baker credits him with saving the costume of King Kong 76 with his mechanical devices used in the mask which were state of the art for the time and easily overlooked. The blowing face effects with Kong were totally groundbreaking and ushered in the age of animatronics.
Up to that point the Stuart Freeborn ape masks for 2001 and John Chambers Planet of the Apes masks were as far as it could go.
Freeborn BTW was responsible for Yoda.
No one has yet to mention Dick Smith! Mentor for Rick Baker and many others--who aged Max Von Sydow so convincingly in the Exorcist that one assumed he really was that old.
He also decapitated David Warner in the Omen.
He deserves extra sympathy for spending a year de-aging Jeff Bridges in Starman only to see his work greatly cut down.
Another overlooked makeup fx artist Roy Ashton--responsible for the Oliver Reed makeup in Curse of the Werewolf among other things.

Carlo Rambaldi took home a special award for 'Silver Bullet' (1985) following years of sustained ingenuity. Dick Smith's the don. |

 Lon Chaney (senior) and his box of magic. I don't know if this is true, but I've read that before Chaney movies didn't have a make up department, they only had a wigs and powdering faces departments... |
