Next door to the Los Angeles Korea Town, up on the third floor of a building on Wilshire Boulevard, some of the finest makeup artists in the city train and are trained at the Cinema Make-Up School. While it may not be as prominently advertised or as large as many other schools specialized in movie make-up, it has the reputation to attract one of the industries leading artists: Greg Cannom.
While anyone familiar with the artform is no doubt very aware of Cannom’s past work, even the neophyte has witnessed his work many times before in films such as Watchmen, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, The Lost Boys (pictured on the cover of Fangoria #66) Hannibal, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (for which Cannom received his fourth Oscar). Motivated by the work of Dick Smith and William Tuttle, Cannom got started in the industry working with the likes of Rick Baker and Smith himself.
