John Chambers (make-up artist)

John Chambers (b. September 12, 1923 in Chicago, Illinois - d. August 12, 2001 in Woodland, California) was a famous make-up artist who became a veteran in both television and film. Although he worked on some of the sleeper movies such as "Halloween II" and his first movie, "Around the World in Eighty Days", his work became known worldwide in the "Planet of the Apes" series, for which he won a special Academy Award. Chambers also created the pointed ears worn by Leonard Nimoy in the original "" television series.

For his work in movies, Chambers has a "Star" on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Chambers was also accused of creating the sasquatch in the Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot film, but he denied this saying he was 'good' but he 'was not that good'.
