Who is Bobbie Weiner? From dearbloodymary.com:
FX makeup artist Bobbie Weiner is a master of transformation: She’s created fake burns, bullet holes, and frostbite. Known around Hollywood as “Bloody Mary,” she even turned 200 extras on the set of the blockbuster Titanic into drowned, frozen corpses.
Weiner’s first movie job [at the age of 46] was on the set of cult horror flick, Pumpkin Head II– which is where she earned the nickname “Bloody Mary.”
Her big break came when she was given a shot at working on Titanic. “They [the producers] were sitting there with a timer and I made someone dead in seven minutes. That’s how I got the job.” After Titanic, one of Leonardo DiCaprio’s stunt doubles asked her to do his face paint for a football game. Three weeks later, she had pre-sold a line of line of sports fan make up to more than 40 colleges.
Weiner appeared on the morning news to make the newscasters look like victims of the Titanic disaster. An officer from Marine Corps base Camp Pendleton happened to be watching. When he heard her movie makeup had lasted for five to six hours in 90-degree water, he asked to her to create new camouflage paint for his troops.
After Weiner’s camouflage line, came her “Bloody Mary” brand Halloween makeup including jugs of fake blood and fangs. Weiner never turned down a job or walked away from an opportunity. Referring to her achievements, she says, “There is no such thing as an overnight success. You gotta crawl before you can walk.”
