This week, we have a special treat for you, as we are joined by Legendary makeup artist Ve Neill! After being inspired by Planet of the Apes cosplayers at a sci-fi convention, Ve began her career and has worked with makeup and effects artists like Fred Phillips, John Chambers, Rick Baker, Greg Cannom, and Stan Winston. Ve has collaborated with directors like Tim Burton, Chris Columbus, Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, and Robert Zemeckis, and worked on famous faces like Johnny Depp, Danny DeVito, Paul Reubens, and Robin Williams. Her talents have featured extensively in blockbuster franchises including The Amazing Spider-Man, Batman, The Hunger Games, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, and X-Men. She has won three Academy Awards, for her work on Beetlejuice, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Ed Wood, and has been nominated for eight Oscars in total. She's also won two Emmys and served as a judge on SyFy's reality TV makeup competition series Face Off. Most appropriately, Ve opened her own school, Legends Makeup Academy, in Los Angeles in 2021. Ve spills the tea on working with wonderful (and difficult!) celebs, her favorite projects, and behind-the-scenes stories from her decades in making movie magic! !
