Created the whiskers worn by Carroll Nye when he played Frank
Kennedy in Gone with the Wind (1939). In fact, the whiskers helped him to get the part;
producer David O. Selznick had originally thought him too young for it.
Member of the Society of Makeup Artists (S.M.A.), although rarely
credited as such on screen.
Began his career at Fox studios in 1932, making photostat copies of sheet music. He became an apprentice make-up artist three years later and ended up working on more than 500 films for 20th Century Fox.
