Those growling jowls of Marlon Brando in “The Godfather” movies? Mr. Smith applied them.
The brooding F. Murray Abraham in “Amadeus”? Mr. Smith helped turn Mr. Abraham’s Antonio Salieri, the composer and rival of the upstart young Mozart, into a hoary relic as an embittered, and somewhat mad, old man.
David Bowie aging before your eyes in “The Hunger”? Mr. Smith’s were the hands of time.
And little Linda Blair, who played the 12-year-old possessed by evil in “The Exorcist”? Mr. Smith made her head spin and spew green vomit and filled her mouth with decaying teeth.

Sounds like a fake name Bill Clinton would have used to check into hotels.
One of the greatest makeup artists in Hollywood history. His work on Max von Sydow in “The Exorcist,” turning an athletic late-40s man into a doddering gump in his late 60s, was amazing.
I had the pleasure of watching Mr. Smith perform his magic on “Everybody’s All-American” in the late 1980s. Wonderful stuff.
I just was watching a documentary on Dick and his life work...the man was an amazing artist and innovator in SFX
RIP Mr. Smith
RIP.
Here we go with an over abundance of reverence with anything Hollywood. I’m surprised there was not music playing in the background.
What are you talking about? This is just an obit.
He’s dead.
RIP.
For those who remember “Dark Shadows”, he also aged Jonathan Frid (Barnabas, JF’s vampire character)for the first movie in 1970, and in the series as well (I think)! He made him up to look like Barnabas at his real age! (frightful!) He also made up Dustin Hoffman’s character to look like a very old man too, in “Little Big Man” long ago!
Also, when you’re possibly the best in the world at what you do then a little reverence is called for no?
Kermit Gosnell was pretty damn good at what he did.
Your moral compass is quite a bit askew.
And yours gullible.
What are you talking about? Lol Are you suggesting that American culture is unimportant? Not worthy of discussion?
When I was 10 or so I was a subscriber to Famous Monsters Magazine and as a kid aspired to be makeup artist....These guys make the unreal reality
