Ep.2.11: "The Makeup Man" with Michael Westmore

Season 2, episode 11. Connor, Dominic, and Erica talk with legendary Academy Award and nine-time Emmy Award winning Star Trek Makeup Artist, Michael Westmore. Best known to us for his makeup on TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT and all of the TNG movies. This is one of those episodes where while we were recording, we kept finding ourselves with our jaws on the floor because of all of the amazing achievements and relationships built over Mr. Westmore's career. We discuss Michael's upbringing, his hollywood "makeup family", the history of makeup in Hollywood, and how he met Marion - his wife of now 58 years. Prosthetics. Glue. Writing his books. TV vs Film. The success of his children. And of course, Star Trek. Wash has a fan club. Matt, one of our Patreon Members and Live Event volunteers makes a candid appearance. Erica gets some fan questions in, Connor, Dominic, and Michael play for Patreon Member Jober Velasco in this week’s Star Trek Trivia, and Michael plays “Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” It's another awesome conversation and another opportunity to see more of what our Patreon members get in these full length episodes. Mix a mimosa and join us for another good time. Michael Westmore's book "Makeup Man" is available on Amazon.We have merch!
