Rik Gern found this amazing photo of Lou Jacobs' handiwork at putting his makeup on others.
This guy may have been a reporter doing a story or some press agent friend... whatever. There are other examples of "guest clowns" getting made up by members of the Alley and getting a duplicate of the pro's makeup.
What I find interesting is that Lou's makeup and headpiece, applied by Lou himself looks SO radically different on this man's face. What looks so warm, fun and magical on Lou looks strange and freakish to me on this guy.
It only goes to prove that you can copy someone's makeup and costume but you can NEVER copy the performer underneath it.
