Bill Tuttle
The Monster Maker
William J. Tuttle (1912-2007) was the head makeup artist at M.G.M. He sculpted the Morlocks' faces, hands, and feet after the sketches made by George Pal.
Few years before The Time Machine, Rod Taylor and Bill Tuttle met in M.G.M. Studios, likely in 1955 when filming The Catered Affair by Richard Brooks. This photo is presented courtesy of Don Coleman.
Scanned by Don Coleman from his copy of the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland issue #8 (September 1960), this photo could have been taken shortly after the movie opening or during the filming (therefore, it would be an off-camera still).
