Testing of the aging make-up on Walter Matthau.
The final aging make-up on Walter Matthau.
With Walter Matthau and George Burns - They were
both a delight. My job was to age Walter. Aging his face with
"stipple" was easy but he had thick black hair, with a low
hairline. Bleaching is tricky, wigs have other problems so I
proposed thinning out his hair down to the roots and using my hair
whitener. Walter agreed. The hairs that have been cut grow out
like the beard and have to be electric-shaved daily.
