In 1961, Michael Westmore began his apprenticeship in make-up. Four decades later, he's an integral part of one of the most enduring, legendary franchises in Hollywood.

 

In the mid-1960s, Westmore worked with make-up legend John Chambers on the classic monster comedy The Munsters. "I made up Butch Patrick as Eddie Munster and did a straight make-up on Pat Priest as Marilyn,? he remembers. ?After I finished making up the actors, I ran all of the foam latex in the lab. I would run a new head and bolts for Herman and new ear tips for Eddie." After successful work in films such as "Rocky," "Raging Bull" and "Mask," Michael joined the world of Star Trek in 1987 to supervise The Next Generation. Now, in his 16th season as make-up designer and supervisor of all TV shows and films in the Trek universe, Westmore takes a moment to reflect on his long career.
