Van Smith
Walter Avant" Van" Smith, Jr.( August 17, 1945- December 5, 2006) was an American costume designer and make- up artist.
He worked primarily in the films of John Waters, designing the costumes and make- up for every John Waters film from 1972 to 2004.
Because of his work with Waters, he is considered one of the Dreamlanders, Waters' ensemble of regular cast and crew members.
The first John Waters film Smith worked on was" Pink Flamingos"( 1972), for which he designed the costumes and make- up for the film's star, female- impersonating actor Divine, as well as the rest of the cast.
In this film Smith, along with Waters, created the famous look for Divine which included a white clown face base and a shaved- back hairline with the eyebrows drawn on the upper forehead.
Waters said he wanted Divine's make- up to look like a cross between Jayne Mansfield and Clarabell the Clown.
This was followed by Smith's work on" Female Trouble"( 1974), which featured a cast of flamboyant criminals and hairdressers whose costumes are overtly tacky and whose make- up is extreme.
For Divine's wedding scene in the film, Smith designed a see- through wedding dress for the 300 lb. bride.
Smith went on to create the look for the grotesque citizens of Mortville in" Desperate Living"( 1977).
In Waters' next seven films, Smith demonstrated the ability to create interesting looks for characters with big personalities but more conventional appearances as Waters' movies became more mainstream.
Smith died of a heart attack in Marianna, Florida on December 5, 2006.

Michael Powell
Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was an English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger.
Through their production company "The Archers", they together wrote, produced and directed a series of classic British films, notably "49th Parallel" (1941), "
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946, also called "Stairway to HeavenBlack Narcissus" (1947), "The Red Shoes" (1948), and "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1951).
His later controversial 1960 film "Peeping Tom", while today considered a classic, and a contender as the first "slasher", was so vilified on first release that his career was seriously damaged.
Many film-makers such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and George A. Romero have cited Powell as an influence.
In 1981, he received the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award along with his partner Pressburger, the highest honour the British Film Academy can give a filmmaker.
