Wally Westmore

Walter 'Wally' James Westmore (February 13, 1906 – July 3, 1973) was a make-up artist for Hollywood films.

Westmore was one of six brothers; all became notable film make-up artists. They were Mont, Wally, Perc, Ern, Bud and Frank.

Wally Westmore's career began with the highly successful "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931) in which the transition of Fredric March from Jekyll to Hyde was considered groundbreaking in the field of film make-up. He eventually went on to work on more than 300 films.
