...since she dumped the incumbent to support Edward Kennedy's quest for the presidency. Speaking cosmetically rather than politically, however, Chicago's Democratic Mayor Jane Byrne really is. The Windy City's feisty mayor is given to impromptu press conferences at which she appears without television makeup. Embarrassed by the bags beneath her eyes that looked particularly heavy under bright TV lights, Byrne, 45, slipped into a hospital over Thanksgiving for a facelift. Reappearing in public last week, the mayor said nothing about her operation but was unperturbed when photographers rushed to record her new, more youthful...

His unsmiling face looked pale without the makeup he usually wears before TV cameras, his eyelids sagged with fatigue and his hands gripped the lectern tightly.

Finally, Williams' script calls for fiddle...
Merrick, who had both external and internal signs of the disease, was so shockingly deformed that producers of The Elephant Man wisely decided against using any grotesque makeup for the actor in the title role; Merrick's appearance is merely suggested by the actor's body language and the reactions of others in the cast. Lame and in constant pain, the real Merrick was covered with lesions and pendulous folds of skin. His right hand, nose and feet were unrecognizable...
