52 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2020 Yolanda "Yolie" McIntyre was born in El Paso, TX, in 1927. Sister McIntyre first applied for membership in 1961, and spent the next decade honing her craft with work in theater and television. She became a member of Local 706 in 1972 and worked regularly for many years at KTLA. Television In Memoriam I once had a still job of two Indians that turned out to be 12 Indians for a Lucky Strike commercial. I called Dennis, the only make-up artist available, and the photographer took him over and kept him on for many stills and commercials for films. That was his start in the film business. Dennis became one of the main actors in the international Lucky Strike commercials in the '80s. Always a smile, always much laughter, always a day to remember—even when his teenage smoking caught up with him—there was always a smile and laughter. I will miss a pal, a mariner ocean sailor. We sailed catamarans together in the South Bay and accidentally came up on a pod of killer whales—didn't mean to chase them, oops. His last film was The Fantasticks, preceded by Clear and Present Danger, Fire in the Sky, Diggstown, The Mambo Kings, Side Out, Flowers in the Attic, Cherry 2000, The Indian in the Cupboard, Stagecoach, and many others. He was a colorful champion of life. His love for life will be missed. Jeffrey Sacino came to Los Angeles in the early eighties with his partner, the late make-up artist Richard Arias. He joined Local 706 in 1993. Over the course of his career, he worked as a hair stylist in theater, film and television. Journeyman hair stylist Daniel Curet remembers: "I met him shortly after moving to Los Angeles when he hired me as the 'swing' hair/make-up assistant on a nonunion movie called Riders of the Purple Sage. He had taken care of Amy Madigan and Ed Harris on several films prior and after. About a year later in 1996, just when I had gotten in our union, he called me to assist him on a TV show called High Incident, helmed credits include Dr. Kildare, Swing Out, Sweet Land, Hee Haw and other variety television shows. Sister McIntyre withdrew from membership in 1981 and retired in Cardiff, CA. She is survived by her daughter Jodi Stine Yolanda Stefanko McIntyre (1927-2020) Journeyman Hair Stylist EXTENDED FAMILY NEWS Jeffrey Sacino (1948-2020) Journeyman Hair Stylist Tribute by Daniel Curet A rare photo of Jeffrey Sacino and his partner in hair/make-up crime, Richard Arias, printed on a never worn T-shirt. Both are in their famous drag characters. Jeffrey had a cameo in this get-up on the TV series we all worked on, High Incident, and I drove them to an event in my '63 Falcon convertible because the wigs were too tall for an enclosed vehicle. —Daniel Curet
