Greg Cannom Dies: Oscar-Winning ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ & ‘Vice’ Prosthetic Makeup Artist Was 73
Greg Cannom, the four-time Oscar-winning makeup and prosthetics artist behind such seminal films as Mrs. Doubtfire and Vice, has died at the age of 73
Per a GoFundMe launched in March 2023 on behalf of the accomplished and celebrated artisan, Cannom’s health began declining following a bout of Shingles a while back, which led to permanent nerve damage to his legs; he also suffered a Staph infection that resulted in an amputation below the knee. His craft is also behind films The Lost Boys, Batman Returns, Blade, The Mask, Hannibal, Van Helsing, White Chicks, The Passion of the Christ, The Eyes of Tammy Faye and many others. Cannom began his foray into the industry after attending Cypress College and working seasonally at Knott’s Halloween Haunt theme park, marking his interest in the horror genre, which eventually led to his connection and assistant job with the seven-time Oscar-winning Baker.
