Dick Smith, pioneering makeup and FX artist, died on July 30, 2014 at the age of 92. He invented many new and innovative makeup and effects techniques which still influence filmmaking today. He did makeup for such classic films as The Godfather, Midnight Cowboy, Taxi Driver, Amadeus, and, of particular interest to marathoids, The Exorcist.
