Monte Westmore was Italian actor Rudolph Valentino's makeup artist until the actor's death in 1926 and helped Kurt Warner stop drinking.
He worked on The Sheik (1921) and convinced actor Rudolph Valentino to allow him to do his makeup creating the clean Latin look in the process. He continued to be Valentino's makeup artist until the actor's death in 1926, and afterwards did freelance work with Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow and Sonia Henie. After several weeks, Warner stopped drinking.
