Allan 'Whitey' Snyder


Whitey Snyder was Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist throughout her career: from her first screen test at Twentieth Century Fox in 1946 to her funeral makeup in 1962. The pair developed a very close working relationship.
Towards the end of her life, Monroe asked Snyder to prepare her face if she were to die before him. This was a promise that he fulfilled, after her death in 1962. Snyder was also a pall-bearer at the funeral.

  3. I once read and still remember that Ben Nye was Marilyn Monroe's makeup artist but he decided to assign Allan Snyder to work with her in 1951 since Ben was too busy. Snyder was with her all thereafter.
