Bud Westmore (13 January 1918 – 24 June 1973) was a make-up artist in Hollywood, and a member of the Westmore family of makeup.
Son of George Westmore, a member of the Westmore family prominent in Hollywood make-up, he is credited on over 450 movies and television shows, including To Kill a Mockingbird, Man of a Thousand Faces, The Andromeda Strain, Creature from the Black Lagoon and Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus.
In Creature from the Black Lagoon, Westmore assisted the designer of the Gill-man, Disney animator Millicent Patrick, though her role was deliberately downplayed for half a century. In most publicity of the time, Westmore received sole credit for the creature's conception. He was sometimes credited as George Hamilton Westmore. The largest building on the Universal Studios Backlot is named in his honor.
In addition to film, Bud worked extensively in television, on shows such as The Virginian, The Munsters, Rod Sterling's Night Gallery, and Dragnet.
In 1957 Mattel asked Bud to design the makeup look of their soon to be iconic doll, Barbie.
