Pride I.A.T.S.E. West Coast Office took part in the 2019 L.A. Pride Parade in West Hollywood on Sunday, June 9. In Memoriam Roy Bryson Hair Stylist It is with sadness that we announce the passing of hair stylist Roy Bryson on June 7, 2019. Brother Bryson came into membership in 1992 when NABET Local 531 merged with the IATSE. He worked on more than 30 feature films in his career. Highlights include The Last of the Mohicans, The Shawshank Redemption, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Kinsey and Birth. No ser- vices are planned. Keith Crary Journeyman Make-up Artist Keith's fascination with make-up lead him to the prestigious Ringling Bros. Clown College and an initial career as a profes- sional clown with the Ringling Bros. Circus—leading back to Keith teaching make-up at his alma mater—the Clown College. Keith met former clown and make-up artist Verne Langdon and together, they created and produced the 'Land of a 1000 Faces' attraction on the Universal Studios Tour. Keith joined Local 706 in 1976, and soon found his niche in network televi- sion, working with Harry Blake at NBC. He spent many years on Days of Our Lives and Leeza, earning five Emmys and nine more nominations on these two shows. He also received one Primetime Emmy nomination for Wild Texas Wind. Keith was known as a very fine beauty make-up artist; his novel use of color and his flawless sense of design created some of the finest fantasy, beauty and clown make-ups seen in our industry. He was adored for his unique style and talent, and is cred- ited by many art- ists in our Local for being the per- son who gave them their 'first break' into the business. Longtime client and friend Leeza Gibbons wrote of her friend: Keith was simply the best make-up artist I ever worked with. We were always in awe of his talents honed from his years as a professional clown. He was sparkly and happy and ready for whatever was next. The first one to show up for work, dressed to impress complete with matching bling. I lived for his outfits, which he kept up even during trips to the hospital. He never complained throughout his long health ordeal. I join a long list of family and friends who loved him deeply. No one worked harder or cared more. He made every- thing special. Keith was one of those rare souls whose mag- nificent artistry was honored and respected, but the Emmys and awards only showed his professional accomplishments. His true colors were seen flying high when he sprinkled his fairy dust on his friends and talked about the ones he loved like Arty and his family. My love and support goes to each of them. To say we'll miss him is a weak statement of sentiment. To say he was loved is a powerful statement of fact. Described as "America's greatest living picture clown" and known for his "extravagant clown wardrobe and meticulous make-up," Keith continued to make pilgrimages to the Big
