Answer: make-up

Walter 'Wally' James Westmore (1906-1973) was a make-up artist for over 300 Hollywood films. He was one of six brothers, all of whom earned distinction in cinematic make-up: Monte, Perc, Ern, Wally, Bud and Frank. Wally Westmore also did the make-up for "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" (1931), "Island of Lost Souls" (1932), "When Worlds Collide" (1951), "The War of the Worlds" (1953), "Conquest of Space" (1955), "The Colossus of New York" (1958), "I Married a Monster from Outer Space" (1958), "Visit to a Small Planet" (1960), "Robinson Crusoe on Mars" (1964), "Village of the Giants" (1965), and "Project X" (1968).

His father, noted make-up artist George Westmore, was doubtless very proud of Wally.
