THE ARTISAN FALL 2017 • 37
amazing team. I have never seen two make-up artists
work on one actor at the same time that well before.
They did amazing application. They were great to
work with and very sweet people. I hope there will
be more opportunity to work with them again. There
was another key person who was in the team from the
beginning —Gisele Schmidt, Gary 's wife. She was
there all the time and helped us to make the whole
process easier. She was great support and she has
great eyes to see things and she did a lot of research
about Churchill that was of great help. Without her,
it would be very hard for Gary to go through this
production.

into Winston Churchill. Tsuji enlisted help from Vincent Van
Dyke, Vanessa Mi Kyung Lee, David Marti, Montse Ribe, Bob
Kretschmer, Diana Choi and others for the molding, casting
appliances and wig.
