...makeup skills, it was selected in June to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There were Dad, a makeup guru on Gone With the Wind; Grandfather, who started the first-ever studio makeup department; five makeup-artist uncles; and himself. Over 50 years, Monty Westmore lent his touch to 100 movies, including The Late Shift (for which he created doppelgngers for David Letterman and Jay Leno and scored an Emmy nomination) and Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park and Hook, the latter nabbing Westmore an Oscar...
