词汇 | the man of a thousand faces |
词源 | the man of a thousand faces. Great movie makeup artists have been the stuff of legends since early Hollywood days, when actor Lon Chaney Sr. was known as the “Man of a Thou- sand Faces.” Since then creations such as the Hunchback of Notre Dame and a hundred monsters worse than Dr. Franken- stein’s have become part of American folklore. This is not to mention dramatic makeup jobs on actors like Dustin Hoff- man, who passed from youth to great age in Little Big Man, or the deterioration of the main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray. |
