This unique work is based on the lip prints of Hollywood's most beautiful, most talented artists. It is a rare opportunity to "know" the celebrated stars of the 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond in the intimacy of a kiss. Because that's what they did for their art. They "kissed" a reference paper that served as guide to make-up for cinematic roles. Here in full scale reproduction are the actual lip prints of 200 screen personalities drawn from the Clay Campbell collection.We cherish and love them all. The pouters, vamps, scamps, femmes fatale, dream makers, home wreckers, heroines, comediennes and star-crossed lovers. And that's only part of the entertainment that lies before you. You'll meet ingenues, leading ladies, scarlet women and inspiring figures of history and the performing arts whose personalities and qualities of mind and spirit inspired dreams and hopes to set enduring standards of beauty and behavior.Through the science of Graphology you also meet the real person behind the signatureof each Lip Print and will "know" that artist out of costume, without makeup, role, story or studio spokesperson. What were they really like?These and other questions, answers and insights are made possible through Clay Campbell's remarkable collection of Hollywood lip prints.Former Head of Makeup for 20th Century Fox and later, Columbia Pictures, Clay began his great career in 1932 with Warner Brothers where skills he acquired at the Oates Wax Factory in Los Angeles came to the attention of Perc Westmore, then famed for makeup at Warner Brothers studios.Although the Hollywood makeup artist made beautiful actresses more beautiful, he also made monsters more monstrous, vampires more bloodthirsty, villains more villainous and tankers more cantankerous.A word, just a signatBaker, George is the author of 'Hollywood Lip Prints Lip Prints, Autographs, and Handwriting Analysis of Yesterday's Leading Ladies', published 2003 under ISBN 9781570901812 and ISBN 1570901813.
