28 min • 23 juli 2024

In Part Two of our examination of the Westmore family, the founders of makeup in the movies.
  
We delve deeper into the extraordinary saga of the Westmore family, and we focus on the four brothers—Ern, Wally, Frank, and Bud—who inherited their father George's passion for makeup artistry and left an indelible mark on Hollywood.

Join us as we explore each brother's unique contribution: Ern's time as one of the “Bundy Boys” alongside Errol Flynn, John Barrymore and W.C. Fields, Wally's incredible transformation in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Bud’s work on Universal horror films and Frank's irrepressible story about his first encounter with Jiggs the Chimp.

Witness their professional triumphs and the occasional strains in their familial bonds, all against the backdrop of Hollywood's golden age. Their story is one of passion, resilience, and the enduring legacy of the Westmore name in shaping the magic of makeup in cinema.
