It was disclosed Monday that William Tuttle, who worked as a makeup artist at MGM for 35 years and headed the studio's makeup department, died at age 95 on July 27 in Pacific Palisades, CA. In 1965 he received an honorary Oscar for his work in The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (17 years before the Academy began handing out Oscars for makeup). He also worked on the memorable 1960 episode of The Twilight Zone titled Eye of the Beholder in which a beautiful woman undergoes plastic surgery on another planet by surgeons who resemble pigs. Other films for which Tuttle created the makeup include: Young Frankenstein, The Time Machine, An American in Paris, North by Northwest, Gigi, and Logan's Run.
