Hey folks, Harry here... I don't usually do this. I rarely endorse a petition effort going on online, because frankly... it takes a lot to motivate me. However, when I got an email from Scott Essman asking for my help in attempting to secure a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame for Movie Make-up legend Jack Pierce... I clicked, signed the petition - then came back here to pitch all of you... and all you good folks at Universal Studios.

Jack Pierce - the man... working with such great faces as Karloff, Lugosi, Claude Rains, Henry Hull & Lon Chaney Jr... he created the greatest single body of absolutely spectacular, unforgettable monster creations of any man in history. Don't get me wrong - I love Rick Baker and Stan Winston and Rob Bottin and all the modern creature makers... but the one thing that joins them all in awe... is the early work of Lon Chaney Sr... and the unbelievably brilliant work of Jack Pierce.

When you think Frankenstein... that's Jack Pierce's work on Karloff's face you're thinking of. Lugosi's Dracula? Karloff's Mummy, Lon Chaney Jr's Wolfman? Henry Hull's Werewolf or Claude Rains' Invisible Man? All Jack Pierce. Then there's all that amazing work in films like THE RAVEN, THE INVISIBLE RAY, MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE, WHITE ZOMBIE, THE OLD DARK HOUSE and on and on.

Jack Pierce's body of work is truly without compare. What he did at Universal could never be replicated - and no matter how many times I've seen masters try... I've never seen it done so well. Jack's work was like a photograph of a nightmare that flipped past your waking dreams at 24 frames per second.

UNIVERSAL - next year you are making a remake of THE WOLFMAN - one of Jack's greatest works - it'd be so good for publicity to get THE WOLFMAN crew out - and to have them get a little press honoring the great Jack Pierce with a Star on the Walk of Fame. Rick Baker would be there - Benicio would in a heart beat. It's the right thing to do!

As for all you readers... Here's where you go to sign the petition: GIVE JACK PIERCE A STAR!!!
