Bud Westmore

Bud Westmore

Bud Westmore (13 January 1918 – 24 June 1973) was a make-up artist in Hollywood.

He was born and raised in Canterbury, England, son of George Westmore, a member of the Westmore family prominent in Hollywood make-up. Known as "The Handsome Westmore", he worked on over 450 movies and television shows, including "To Kill a Mockingbird", "Man of a Thousand Faces", "The Andromeda Strain" and "Creature from the Black Lagoon".

In his involvement in "Creature from the Black Lagoon" he assisted the designer of the Gill-man, Disney animator Millicent Patrick, though her role was deliberately downplayed and for half a century, Westmore would receive sole credit for the creature's conception.cite book | author = Ferrari, Andrea| title = Il Cinema Dei Mostri | year = 2003 | pages = 287| id = ISBN 88-435-9915-1]

He was also Martha Raye's first husband for five months in 1937. He was sometimes credited as George Hamilton Westmore. The largest building on the Universal Studios Backlot is named in his honour.
