His shoulders would sag with boredom at a question, his head would sink down and sidewise and he would begin a soft singsong response to a hostile inquiry, radiating contempt.

He has other makeup skills beyond the dreams of Max Factor: old age (The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman), space aliens (the first Star Wars and Men in Black), lycanthropes (Wolf and An American Werewolf in London) and dead movie stars. Using a chin cleft and extended ears, he helped Martin Landau turn into Bela Lugosi in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. Both won Oscars. "Without Rick's makeup, I couldn't have done it," says Landau...
