In the early days of Hollywood, famed make- up artist Perc Westmore invented a hair replacement system while working for Max Factor. So extraordinary was this system that Factor was granted United States Patent #1845380. The materials used to make this remarkable hairpiece have changed over the years but to this day Hollywood Hair continues to use the process because it's still the most undetectable in the world. So the next time you're at the movies and you see that great looking hair on Sean Connery or Bruce Willis, you can thank Perc .




	This early picture of Kirk Douglas was on display at the Max Factor Museum. Did Max fill in Kirk's receding hair line? Only Kirk and Max know for sure.




		Edward G. Robinson was also a client of Max Factor and this is the picture on display at the museum. Notice the use of the natural recession that adds just the right touch for his age and the types of roles he played.




	Factor did work for hundreds of movies and TV shows over the years. These are pictures of a couple you'll definitely remember.




		In the early days they used to put the metal contraption you see pictured here on your head and take a multitude of measurements. Then, wood carvers would carve teak blocks to the shape of a star's head. Today we can be much more precise by making a plaster mold of an individual's bald or thinning area.




		Lucille Ball was also a client of Max Factor. Lucy's hair pieces were made by Josephine Turner for over fifty years. Josephine is now ninety years old and living a few blocks a from our office in North Hollywood and still making hair pieces!




		George Burns, Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Bing Crosby and hundreds of other actors were also clients of Max Factor. Think about it; would John Wayne have been the "Duke" without his hair piece or would Humphrey Bogart have been "Bogie" without his?

This custom-made lace wig is one of many that was specially created for newly paroled hero Cameron Poe (portrayed by Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage) in Touchstone Pictures' 1997 action-adventure "Con Air," co-starring John Malkovich and John Cusack.
