This signed photo was given to Pierce with the note: "To Jack, Remembering the good old days to-gether. You're 100% O.K., John".

A TOAST TO WHITE ZOMBIE


Jack did a one-off stint with the Halperin brothers for the makeup chores on WHITE ZOMBIE (1932). After the disastrous (and now presumed lost) test reel of his makeup on Lugosi for Universal's FRANKENSTEIN (1931), Bela was once more at the mercy of Pierce and his makeup chair. This time he came out looking like the devilishly handsome lead character of the film, Murder Legendre.
