The Motion Picture Academy has honored him with four nominations and the Oscar in 1986 for his artistry on the film Mask. His artistry has also been recognized around the world. While supervising the last 18 years of Star Trek, he turned his attention to writing articles and books on cosmetics and their application. He has spent the last 2 1/2 years department heading and designing the largest makeup project ever to be filmed in India. Michael is now penning his biography, which includes an acount the wonderful years he spent with the faces of Elizabeth Taylor, Robert DeNiro, Bette Davis and Sylvester Stallone.

The Westmores' outstanding contributions to the film industry were recognized on October 3, 2008 when Michael and his family were honoured with a STAR ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard's famous Walk of Fame.

    How nice to see this — the Westmore family is at least as important to the Hollywood legacy as any of the famous acting clans like the Barrymores or Carradines. And Michael remains one of the absolute best at what he does. I've also enjoyed getting to know him a little better via his short but numerous appearances on the TV show Face Off, hosted by his daughter McKenzie.

    Star Trek wouldn't have been what it is today without your contributions, so yes — happy birthday, sir, and here's to many returns of the day!

    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

  • Face-Off is great. It makes me want to go into that field of design

    Michael Westmore is great. Discovery should have hired his son to do the makeup on Discovery with the help of Michael instead of the other Faceoff judges that did terrible klingons.
