Academy Award Winning MU Artist Dick Smith Discusses Age Make Up on Movie Magic

[@CraigMansfield]

I was on his Make-Up course. We wrote many times. Real gentleman.

[@Valkonnen]

I could and HAVE watched this over and over and am constantly inspired.

The *greatest* makeup artist that ever lived! May he R.I.P.

[@CraigMansfield]

Lovely, lovely, lovely man.

I love seeing Smith's "Mickey Mouse" hand at 0:13 For those that don't know, he suffered an accident and the ring finger on his hand was severed. As he spent his days with his hands on and around actors' faces and not wanting them to feel even more uncomfortable during the process, he asked the doctors to remove the entire finger including the metacarpal (rather than leave a nub with the base phalange) so that his hand would look "normal", albeit with four digits instead of five. Lots of people never even noticed, even after dozens of hours of him working on them, so it clearly worked! He ended up calling it his "Mickey Mouse" hand because of the number of fingers :)

And yet, as an ingenious makeup artist, he could very well have constructed a convincing Harold Lloyd style glove.

Bill, Where did all these shows go to ?? It is a shame that they didn't put these on DVD's . I have a lot of these on VHS tapes , need to convert them .

[@WilliamForsche2]

Hi Richie, agreed, what a great show this was. I have many on tape too and can send you what I have already converted to dvd.

No one has been able to do a more convincing old age since his Merrin makeup 50 years ago.
