"Wearing a mask - putting on another face - embodies a fundamental human fantasy of inhabiting other bodies and experiencing other lives. In this extensively illustrated book, Thomas Morawetz explores how the creation of transformational maekup for theater, movies, and television fulfills this fantasy of self-transformation and satisfies the human desire to become "the other.""--BOOK JACKET.
