You may not recognize Angela Meryl’s name, but if you’re a fan of action flicks like Skyfall, Kill Bill, and Pirates of the Caribbean you’ve probably seen her work and just didn’t know it. She’s the one lunging through the air to fight an opponent martial-arts style, slamming into cliffside guard railings at 60 miles per hour, dangling from helicopters in mid-air and even plunging into the depths of New York’s Hudson river…all as one of Hollywood’s go-to stunt women.

In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, on newsstands now, makeup artist Howard Berger walks us through the steps he took to transform Anthony Hopkins into director Alfred Hitchcock for Hitchcock, the big screen biopic (in theaters Nov. 23) that follows the Master of Suspense during the making of Psycho.

“It took an hour and a half to do [Tony's] makeup. We were [working] with an actor who is 74-years-old and in every scene of the movie, so it couldn’t be longer than that,” Berger said of the streamlined process, which involved the application of a prosthetic nose, earlobes and a silicone wrap to give Hopkins those unmistakable Hitchcock jowls. “It made [Tony] happy, it made the studio happy and it made the director [Sacha Gervasi] very happy.”

Watch the amazing time-lapse video below to see Hopkins’ transformation into Hitchcock in under a minute.  READ FULL STORY »

Last night, in Face Off‘s live finale (read our on-the-scene report here), Nicole Chilelli took home the top prize for the Syfy show’s third season. She’s the show’s first female winner and the show’s first “comeback girl” – she worked her way up to being crowned winner (as voted by the fans) after having been eliminated then being given the chance to earn her way back into competition earlier in the season.

The win certainly looked like an emotional whirlwind for Chilelli, who shed some tears upon the announcement of her name. When she began talking with EW just minutes after host McKenzie Westmore had announced her name, she said, “What is happening right now? This is not even real!” Since then, though, she’s probably had some time to let it all sink in, and right now she very well may be on a Los Angeles shopping spree. “Tomorrow I’m going to every makeup store in L.A., and I’m just buying everything!” she said. In the midst of the celebration right after the finale, Chilelli talked to EW about the twist of bringing her back into competition, which of her prizes she’s most excited about and what she plans to do next.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Tell me what the past 24 hours have been like. Did you get any sleep last night?
NICOLE CHILELLI: I really couldn’t sleep last night. I was so nervous. Just going over everything in my head. Once I sat down and saw my family, all that kind of went away, and it was just about me excited and just the excitement, and the nerves subsided. I am just so thankful, and oh my God, this is amazing. It’s just gonna make my career go so much further. I really wanna go back to school ’cause I’m self-taught. So I would love to actually go to a special effects makeup school and learn, and this is my opportunity now, and I can take care of my mom [who, like Chilelli, has Fibromyalgia], and she’s gone through so many things, and this is gonna help her so much. I can’t even believe this now. I’m so shocked. READ FULL STORY »
