MAKE-UP ARTISTS & HAIR STYLISTS GUILD AWARDS | 9 L I F E T I M E A C H I E V E M E N T A W A R D MAKE-UP TODD McINTOSH Already a well-respected make-up artist in Canada working at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation doing everything from the news to variety shows and local TV dramas, Todd took the leap and worked hard to join Local 706 in 1987 and quickly gained a reputation for excellence and his ability to handle every make-up challenge in front of him. His self- described "old-school style" and philosophy is that "every skill you are without is a job you are without." Within just a short time with encouragement from Mike Westmore, he was Department Head on Masters of the Universe, a film that won several awards for make-up and launched the careers of some outstanding artists. For the next several years, he switched back-and-forth from feature films to television series and MOWs. In the late 1990s, he again supervised another iconic series—Buffy the Vampire Slayer, again with an incredible team of artists that garnered a Primetime Emmy for the show. His additional list of credits is eclectic and exemplifies his broad range of talents, whether beauty or special make-up effects: Griselda, Legion, e Kids Are Alright, Anna Nicole, Pushing Daisies, Medium, Memories of a Geisha, Venom, Dark Shadows (TV movie), Star Trek: Enterprise, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, City Slickers (I & II), e Brady Bunch Movie and sequel, Mr. Saturday Night, Out on a Limb, Look Who's Talking (1 & 2), e Clan of the Cave Bear, and dozens of others. Todd has won two Primetime Emmys and has 12 nominations. He has one Hollywood Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award and three nominations. McIntosh has a true love of teaching the cras and has extensive history educating artists both in the United States and Canada. He was also Chairman of the make- up department of IATSE Local 871 in Vancouver. L-R: Sofía Vergara in Griselda, Todd McIntosh at work, Gong Li and Michelle Yeoh in Memoirs of a Geisha
