The pantheon of monsters. It was the last one to be included. Everyone has their own pantheon, you can come fight me later. [laughter] in my opinion, creature was the last one. She was one of disneys first female animators, she was an actress, she was an illustrator. Everything about Millicent Patrick was larger than life. It has been the greatest honor of my life so far to tell her story. If you read the book, you know there are pictures in there because millicent lived a very visual, cinematic life. I have a treat for all of you. Ive got some photos that have never been seen before. I have hundreds of them i was not allowed by my publisher to put in because we could not fit 700 different photos in the book. So i would like to take you through while telling you about millicent and why she is a trailblazing artist and one of the most important women we have ever had in the film industry. I would like to take you through her life a little bit with some awesome photos. Can room or i ca how to do it. Here is my girl. Millicent patrick began life in a place called hearst castle. If cribbs was a tv show back in the 1920s, this would have been on it. This is what it looks like. It was the summer home, just one of many, of a man named William Randolph hearst. He was americas first media mogul. Not only did he have an amazing home, but people like Charlie Chaplin and Winston Churchill used to go and hang out at the ranch, as they would say. This is where Millicent Patrick grew up because her father was a man named camille rossi. He was the superintendent of construction here for 10 years. That is where she started life. Everything in millicents life was bigger, more bombastic than anyone could dream. This is where she grew up. This is where she and her siblings hung out. They used to play here while her dad was getting into fights and trying to figure out how to make this thing. Millicent always was a great artist, she. Was an amazing pianist but when she got into community college, she decided she wanted to make a go of art. She decided to go apply for a scholarship to go to the shin art institute. I have been told i am allowed to swear. I am making sure there are no children. She was a complete badass. Just a year after women were allowed to vote in this country, she opened an art school in Southern California that was about to change the face of art goals. Art schools. She ran the school with an iron fist and an artistic flair. I want to share some unseen drawings of millicent. That is her modeling. The really cool thing about the institute is not just that it was created by mel bert, who was amazing, but the thing nelbert was really good at was working with students and teachers and lecturers, trying to get more cool people in for her school. One day, an artist came to her from an upandcoming movie studio and wanted to make animated films, and he really wanted to get his artist trained in a special way because he had a vision for how to change how animated films were made and how they looks. The man was called walt disney. You have probably heard of him. [laughter] this was the early days in the world of disney, and he did not have money to train all these animators, but he knew they had to be trained differently. You cannot take an animation course at school. You needed to train in a special way. So he went all these art schools across Southern California and he said, i cannot pay you, but i want to bring my students here, and they all said no. Except for our lady nelbert. A pipeline formed between the institute and disney. Disney would in his buick drive his students down and wait for them while they were in class. He would hang out around the school. That is how the pipeline got formed because he got to see the best talent at the institute, and that included Millicent Patrick. He started hiring animators and artists, and while his animators were hanging out and learning things there, and sometimes the instructors would come up and help him work on his films, so there was a close connection there, and he met millicent. He was looking at her art, and millicents art was very special in the way that she was able to convey a lot of movement in just a few lines. That is perfect for animation, so he said, please come work for me. He hired her to work in the inca and paint in the in and paint in the ink and paint department. In the early days of disney, there are a lot of different steps to animation. Theres a lot of different stuff, animation. Theres a lot of things you have to do. Animators were there they could be shot with a camera and then painted. They were were hundred percent women. This is a massive building on the Disney Studio lot. Women were not allowed to go into the building. No. It was really discouraged at disneys studios. Disney studios. She started as a painter and people noticed her skill at movement. All of this she became one of the first animators at disney along with marcia jane and someone you may know pretty cool. You can see the style. First thing they worked on was a very ambitious film. Even by disney standards, if you pitched this, the producer would go, this is not a good idea. They wanted to do these toferent short films set classical pieces of music. Everyone thought this was a bad idea. He wanted to elevate the art form. And this was a totally different type of movie. People had never done anything like this for and these were new ways of animating. What disney wanted, he wanted the look of pastel and a lot of these shots. Amazing. He wanted the look of pastel, but you cant animate with pastel. So, he needed to figure out how a pastela way effect. That is what Millicent Patrick did. Look, can learn to millicent and marcia james were hired to do that in the studio. It was sort of a big deal in the book. I want to tell you. When i was a kid, i watched a lot of movies. I read a lot of books. Now i am a huge horror fan and people always want to know, you nice lady. Why are you into all of this weird stuff . I tell them, when i was a kid, my grandfather showed me friend dancing brooms, ok, fun. Until it got to the mountain sequence and all of a sudden, you name changer. It was the very first time art made me feel something that powerful, even though it was terror. Artas the very first time affected me in such a way that i thought about it afterward. And i had really bad anxiety. Time it was first not real. If you have anxiety, what a vacation that is. And i fell in love. Alsofound that she nobog, and it made me feel like i was on the right path. Fun halloween fact, one of the bog, ther cherno other than bella go see. If you look at his hand movements you can totally see that. Picture. En the i tried to put it in the book. Firstonde woman was the credited woman. Credits in movies were really difficult. There were hundreds of people things at the same time and when youre talking femaleho the first animator is, was that the first person who saw an animated film on the big screen. Millicent was the first female animator theres not a big leave her that says animate on it. She was not the first woman to do that, but she was definitely one of the first until secret behind the scenes footage comes out on something. She was the greta was the first person being credited for ban b. But being a powerhouse, there was a lot of turmoil at disney. And hers a union strike struggle with migraines caused her to quit. She never worked in animation ever again. What she did do, take advantage andhose good looks of hers become a model. She was very, very good at it. Los angeles. She was very, very good at it. She had the looks. She was a very gregarious person. She was a charming person. She loved being in this world. That is how she segued into modeling. She was still working on her arts. She would sketch, do portraits for friends. When she was literally waiting on the corner after a trade show. A hollywood producer came up to and a lot of stuff about her story dusted to make that up to the book . No. Even when she was doing all of this she was still modeling. First taste of this when she was still working at disney. Who has heard of the reluctant dragon . And the whole plot of the film is for him to try to go to bed to disney. Can you imagine question mark you would have to dig a hole to get on. As he goes through the film, you see him moving around. And in the background of one of patrick. Ms, there is she loved being on camera. So, she was a really big personality. While she was on set, if you is a lot ofr, there downtime. The phrase hurry up and wait was probably invented on a film set. She was doing a lot of sketching. She was doing a lot of art. One day she was waiting in the makeup chair. And one of the things she would like to do would be sketch portraits of her costars. She hadd doing it. At been in a Universal Studios film. She had these great sketches. She showed them to a man who ran the makeup studio. I am always surprised there is never been a film or tv series made about the westmore family. But westmore wars but n the beauty shop. He came from the westmore dynasty of makeup. But with mob, lipstick. This was a true dynasty. Father invented the idea of a Makeup Department. Early blackandwhite films came from a theater tradition. It did not always work. There was no quality control. On, barge onto the studio set in say, what if i do this. In that would look from consistent from scene to scene. He said, all right, i will do it. He had a bunch of sons and they all went into makeup. There was a certain point back in the 1940s and 1950s where there was a westmore brother cutting up almost every single studio makeup wise. They all ran the makeup studios. So, catching the eye of a westmore was a a deal. E was completely blown away he wanted to hire her. ,he thing about by the westmore the thing about all of the westmores, they were beauty old. We will get back to that. They had their own book called the westmore book of beauty. Have you ever taken a quiz . An amazing . Which ill which eyebrow do for your patient . If you have ever been depressed because youre around his like me, blame the westmores. They were not monster people. They were not horror people. Bud really needed someone on film onset who could do character stuff. Makeuphead of a big studio, he was not done a lot of the designing. He was a beauty guy in the first place. Then he saw millicent and said, absolutely i will hire you. She became the first woman to be a hired by a make by a Makeup Department at a big studio. To so good. Incredible. The very first one. This was the mid1950s. Ofwent from being afraid europe to being afraid of space. We have this new thing called Science Fiction. And all of the classic monster dracula, willl smith, frankenstein. Dad never done a Science Fiction movie. But all of a sudden the kids one of the scifi. The have to figure out how to make a scifi movie. They had a new audience they had before. D to cater to a terrifying audience. Theres a Massive Group of teenagers who had pocket money. You had time. They wanted to get these kids out of the house. So the best place for them to be was at the movies. They wanted to make scifi and they were really happy with her work and they wanted her to design an alien. They took this beautiful woman she was doinge acting. I dont know if it was more fulfilling for her, but it was a lot less waiting around. A new movie called it came from out of space it came from outer space. The treatment was written by ray bradbury. It was a thinly veiled antimccarthy movie. You know that he is very verbose and not always detailed, so he gave millicent essentially this left of text but even have the word nebulous block of text that even have the word nebulous in it. She designed an alien. It did well. It became a classic. It is still cheesy. Would describe it as an eyeball left in a bag. But it was scary. It was intense. There were a lot of people who were frightened. Millicent was very creative. She had come up with all of these different ways to figure it out. Budthere were designs that westmore saved. He said, this is great. I want you to keep doing this monster thing. We have a new movie we want to do. This will have a new budget. Creature called the from the black within. This monster she had to design was when to be completely different. The reason why creature from lagoon he is the only universal monster that has not been remade. No, you cannot count shape of water. He is not from universal. He is the only universal classic monster that was played by two different actors. He was the only one out in daylight. This monster had to be complete, detailed, there were technical elements to the design. She nailed it. She really, really did. Even people who have not seen the movie, they see a picture in a no. The testn why it stood of time, she had that disney training. She can convey a lot of movement. A lot of emotion. Are usedots of people to makeup and cgi and they see the film and they think, is that makeup . Is that articulated mast . Rubber. S one piece of but it looks like makeup. Think, despite i the disney training was her incredible empathy. Millicent designed this monster wanting people to feel for him. When you look at him, you are scared by him. There are lots of kids who ran out of the theater, including alice cooper. But you want to understand him. He looks just humanlike enough. Its very difficult to make a monster like this that does not look silly, but nobody was laughing at creature. He did not think it would hold up. He thought it was a ridiculous idea to have a monster like that out in daylight. He thought it was going to be a flop. It. The producers loved everyone else thought it was going to be great. Shot, and people started taking notice. And theytest screening did not have to edit anything. People loved the film and they loved the creature. They absolutely loved the creature. Westmore. D those original drawings are from black lagoon fans. No one knows what happened to them. I am hoping there is a collector somewhere in the middle of willre and they will he fall until about a no and they will be released. No one knows where these are. Any amount of toes to even just see them. Budthere is millicent and in the monster shop. Universal realized they had a hit and this is where millicent would go to work every day. Loved to dress every coolnd she was totally with being the only woman there. She was unapologetically feminine. She loved the designing. The beginning, she got along, very, very well. There she is adding paint to the suit. They had to test it underwater. They were testing the water tanks on the universal lot. So this film, they started coming up with ways to promote it. Just like today. Milkshakes at mcdonalds, ridiculous toys. Universal and other studios have tried to come up with ways to sell their movie. We get people to see this movie . They came up with wacky ideas. One of the less wacky ideas was, hey, we have a beautiful woman and shes very charming and , whyous, very well spoken dont we center out on tour and promote it the beauties who created the base . And everyone is like, this is fantastic. Wheels started turning. This is when the problem of bud westmore came in. Back then, when you saw the movie, the title cards, those were the credits. Crawl,res a 10minute any person who thought about that movie has been credited, which to be fair, movies are hard to make. Thats not how things were back then. He got sole credit for everything everyone did. There is no imdb, no twitter. People were naive in thinking about that. Were not the public was not going, the key grip on this was not given credit. You would not know. He was not doing the designing. He was not doing the scout the sculpting. He did credit that she got credit for everything. When he found out that they were lett to take this woman and everyone know he did not do the design, a design he did not even. Ike, he got really mad really mad. Youre sitting there and if you have not read this book you are thinking, this woman is amazing. She did all these cool things. Why dont we know who she is . This is why . Fuss atd up a huge universal. They said, we have plans on plans in place. The beauty whobe lives with the beast. We will pitch her as someone who takes care of the universal monsters. She has to go from creature to create or to remain or babysitter, somewhere in there. She got demoted to this motherly a bad thing. S not but she designed him. I dont know if she knew what the tour was supposed to be, but when they pitched that to her, she agreed. What they were going to do was after years of trying to shun movie that ground, they said, we want to show off our pedigree. Millicent got to go all over the country. One of the masks on her head, is from dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde. She was going to display them, it would be spritzing a creature with missed. While this was happening, before witheft, she had a meeting but at universal and jed to had to swear to promise to live everybody. Schiavo script. She had he had a script. She had a chaperone. Every interview she did that said, bud westmore was the credit for the person and she had other names of people who worked on it, but she was not allowed to take credit for her own work. She agreed because this was the 1950s and they were going to pay her very well. She did negotiate for a higher salary, which, good on you, millicent, but she had to lie. She went off. She went off on tour. She did radio interviews. Tv spots. I try to find them. I have never been able to. It. Le were loving people already fell in love with the creature. She started getting fan mail because she was so friendly and smart and interesting and passionate. The way that she talked about her work in the creature, you could tell he absolutely loved him. The problem was people started notigure out maybe it was bud westmore. Maybe this woman who worked as a designer was the designer. I do not know why but thought he would sweep this under the rug. People started doing pieces not only about the movie, but about her. There is a huge dichotomy between a beautiful woman and this monster. Is it crazy a beautiful woman can design a monster. , slight, women are people. To eclipse some of the creature buzz. And back at universal, but was so mad. He would follow her across the country and find what radio and newspaper and tv station she spoke to in demand to know what she said, what they were going to print. He was serious. This was all happening without her consent. She was sticking to the script. She was being chaperone, but people were so interested in her and they were printing this stuff without her say. Completely not her fault. As soon as she had gone on her own she was taking all the. Redit while she was off having the westmoreer career, but fight a bad westmore bud westmore fired her. She came back from her film and the film that she was working on another classic scifi film this island earth, she was pulled from. She never worked on a universal movie in that way again. There is no internet. , bud westmorehis quickly realized he had the opportunity to take credit. And that was it. There was no way to check. Even though she still received peoplel for years, and were excited and girls and women all over the country were so inspired by her she disappeared. , nobody knewes anything. They did not know if she was still alive. Because of that, no one could follow in her footsteps. Its a really interesting thing. Hat happened in the 1990s the internet started up. All the sudden these photos that had never been seen before no one had been able to share, we have the internet. We could yell at each other on social media. Do all of these things. And so hardcore film nerds started to learn about these things and people wanted to know more about how he was created. Not opposed publicity shot. That started flowing around and people knew her name they did not know any more about her. Imb black sheep of the family not just i am the black sheep of the family, not just because i am goth. Had to teach myself. I did not have any siblings to help me. So i did my research. [laughter] ravenclaw heavy space right now. I went to do research. Classics, thats a big one. I fell in love with the wolfman. I got to the creature, which was the last one and i fell in love with him, the same way a lot of people dead. His suit. I felt like the creature when i was a teenager. The way that he swims under julie adams, that is still the way that i feel when i look at hot people. I dated a hot person. So, i went online. Again, more raven cloth ravenclawing. I wanted to know who made him. I found this photo of a woman. After that point, all of my heroes were men. Rick baker, tom savini. All dudes. And thats fine. But no women. I never thought i could be in that world. I love movies. I never thought i could do that because i did not see the way. Populated with people who did not look like me. She just did her job. Page. Ere is no wikipedia there are just scattered photos and very unprofessional blogs. That was it. It was like someone poked a whole in the wall and all of a sudden i could see through to the other side and she became a beacon for me and several years a horrorecame filmmaker. She was my hero. She was the only role model i had. I clung to her. Tattoos. Red in i decided to get a tattoo of Millicent Patrick. I knew i belonged because millicent did. I got the tattoo of her. A few weeks later i was at a party and a friend of mine, a literary agent said he was this woman tattooed on you . I said is millicent fitzpatrick. What happened to her . I said, i dont know. He said, that would make a great book. He said that would make a great book. I said i am not a rider. Iter. And i thought, why not . I wanted to know so badly about what happened there . Nobody knew anything. All of the blogs were written by men. Nobody knew anything. So, i just started. If you are holding this book, i ended up finding everything. I got most of the details of her life, andh, personal she remained my hero through all of it. Youre probably wondering this is great. This wonderful woman, she blazed this trail. That was 60 years ago. Why does this matter . Who are monster people. I was pouring all of my savings and time why are you doing woman you dont know. Worked on this monster movie back in the 19 50s. What is it matter . It matters because what happened happens. Ent patrick it has happened to me. It has happened to every single every industry ever, whether you are a plumber or a chef or a taylor, whatever you do. The problem that caused her to lose her career are in place 60 years later. 60 years and we have not had a design a monster. New movies a ton of a new predator movie, a new godzilla movie. She was hidden for so long and girls like me did not have a role model and did not know we could do it to. We just went through another oscar season and they could not andh up a single woman millicent was white. She had all of the advantages any white lady could ever have and she still got crushed. Millicent,sad for the sad for all the women out there who are gay, who are trans, who are fat, who are anything society does not want you to be. That is white her story matters so much. It is so great we are working in this era. I started riding this book and my editor said how fast can you write. I said, i dont know. I was like, here we go. About doctorow. I get really excited when i think about ship of water. I love that film. That was before me to happens. It is really change the landscape. We are not very far from where we need to be, but things are changing. The conversation is changing. What i want women and girls to know, we are pushing to have more female editors and directors and painters and every type of field you can imagine, but what we really need to know is we have always been here. This is not a new thing for girls to be interested in monsters and comics. We have always been interested in it. We have not always felt safe enough to say we are. Likeve not always felt sharing these things, but we have always, always been here. Have a legacyt we here. Girls are the most important part of horror because horror happens to girls. In real life girls of the ones fighting horror, so girls need to be the ones riding those films, directing those films, designing this monsters, righting these books. They are the ones that have to grapple with them every single day and if we do not let them make these movies and design these monsters, we cant show fight the to monsters. We cant show them how to win. That is why it has been my honor to tell you about her today. Now we will open it up to questions. [applause] oh, i get to the question. Wondering, have you heard anything from the west mores . Funny story. I spent three years riding this book. I tried very hard to get in touch with them. I. E. Melt. Until i finish the book. I am a huge cocktails nerd. Big bourbon drinker me in my exboyfriend were driving to a chaingeles liquor store my buffalouying chase bergen bourbon. Out sick, doing me you like creature from the lagoon . And he said, my great uncle designs that monster. And it was like one of those freezeframe moments where i was like there are several ways i can respond. But i had a chance to put stuff in the book. So i thought, sucked down the volcano of hatred, try to get information suck down the volcano hatred. Try to get information out of this guy. Who is your uncle . . . D you said, you are a fan. You know who bud westmore is . My boyfriend is like i said, i definitely know who he is. Book i am riding a writing a book. I would love to talk to you. Might you not addressed. He mustve looked me up because he never emailed me. Now every time i see him he is very like something is down here, ive got to but i do think its poetic justice that a heir of both westmore serve me my bourbon. Bud is for you of westmore serve me my bourbon. I did not hear from them. Although i should say Michael Westmore works and makeup. He is a fantastically talented person. But he has never tried to get in touch with me. [indiscernible] it is. Its basically creature from the black lagoon fanfiction. Thelways wondered why creature did not end up with julie adams, which, fair question. He wanted to write a world where that happened. If your interested in that, i onlya great quote the quote from a man in the book. He designed that. Ive a great quote from him on how millicent is design affected him. [indiscernible] fantastic movie. Any other questions . Yes. [indiscernible] i am so glad you are asking this question. I ended up not leaving anything out of the work. When i started riding the book i was very protective of millicent. I still am. Ive never met her, but she means a lot to me. When i started uncovering things about millicent that were not flattering and made her look like a bad person, i really struggled with putting those in the book, because i wanted to protect her. I wanted everyone to love her and accept her and i feel like i have been carrying her manner and getting people to except she designed to creature. There are still people who believe she didnt. I love talking to those people. I hope that they fall into a manhole. I still get asked that in interviews. Theres no question. Very protective of her. Dont want to show bad sides to her. I did not want to give them ammunition and then i realized i like i did her just not want her to be judged by other people. Women are worth riding writing about even if they make mistakes, make bad choices. To goalieose choices anything she did in the world of film. She still human being. It was important for me to write about her and it may me stop judging her and made me stop judging myself and i realize that if i got to put that stuff in there, maybe a woman or someone that she knew or looked to or look down to optimally i did not take anything out. I left everything in there, even the bad parts of her life. This brings up an idea though is this a question . It is a question. Can the artist be separated from the work . Other thing. Millicent is dead. Sorry, spoilers. There was a time when i was not sure if she was dead or not. One, i dont think millicent did anything in her life that was he never assaulted anybody. Also a spoiler, i guess. She never did anything bad in that way, but if she did, we would be having a different conversation right now. I think we need to be responsible as consumers. We are living in this me to oo era. Me t what do we do question mark you dont have to give them money. Ltimately, no you cant separate the art from the artist. We really, truly cant. If theres someone you dont believe in, stop giving the money. If you find out a comic book artist assaulted a woman, dont buy the comic book. Youre not giving him any money. Youre showing the publisher they should not hire people like that. We cant say, theres nothing we can do. Theres something all of us can do. Where youur money want things to happen. If you are living in a place and there is a director working on stuff that you do not feel comfortable with, do not give them space on your social media. On the flipside when you say, god, i wish there were more female directors. Go online, find movies that have been direct it by women and give those your money instead. We have so much power. We cant live in this world where we are like, well, art. Art reflects what you make reflects who you are and i think we should not be, oh, guys like woody allen its fine. Classic artists. Well, how many women out there were not allowed to be artists because of men like that. Thats my take. My very warm take, clearly. A two point question on a lighter subject. [indiscernible] thats a harder question. I have to do pantheons. Werewolves and every thing else. I will mash them together. If i had to pick five favorite movies our movies texas chains on master, the exorcism, the thing, american werewolf in , and its a tossup between the original wolfman and the shining. I will make them fight it out. [indiscernible] oh, come on. Theres always one. A horror movie that can scare you . Thats a horrible question. Our is so, so subjective. Yourlike picking at underpants for you. You can try. Horror is the most subjective things and that is truly why it is where the most important genres. Stephen king is the most popular author and he is a horror author. If you ever want to see a reflection of a societys fears are what they are thinking or what they value, watch the horror movies of that time. Its the last bastion of art where we can explore really extreme ideas and be really, really political. People will say, its just our movie. Whats scary to you might not be im really afraid of snakes. Terrified of snakes. For me, our movie is like the Discovery Channel where i can watch other are movies and i am totally fine. Its a trick question and i am calling you out on it. Yes. I have no idea what time it is. [indiscernible] mary shelley nice. And their first and their first iteration of our is monster high. I dont know what that is. Is that like bratz dolls . Barbie is already like monsters. What we need to make them scarier . Seen that sculpture of what barbie would look like a midwife. 67 with terrifying limbs. Well need to make barbie scarier. Ill feel comfortable saying that because that never seen them. We are living in an embarrassment of riches for young girls who are into our stuff. Theres so many incredible middle grade novels and comics. I dont know. I will look them up later. Thank you. Thanks for spoiling the entire book. I just think there is an interesting i am just curious if you can talk about what it feels like to invest so much in erson you have never met there are not too many people i was trying to get them to like me, there was a strange lady. There was so much pressure. I was very nervous. Thever even showed them tattoo i had up there. I am assuming they must have seen it. I did not want them to think i. As weird or excessive it was very nerveracking. I do have another unknown unsung woman who worked on another monster movie. External, you are an hard drive for another person when you do a project like this. I am the world expert on Millicent Patrick right now and it was so much pressure to convince them of the sincerity of the project and hope they would open their hearts and archives to me. I do not know if they had anything. I tried to make myself look as normal as i possibly could. Incredibly kind. So sweet. I changed all of their names to characters from the wolfman. No one has ever picked that up. They are all renamed. But, yes, it was tough. Becauseally emotional, i miss her. She is not in my head every day. Was hard, just weird. She was like my body. , i have a framed photo like this one above my desk. Hey, millicent, where one to do it today. When i started work on my new project i was like, i need to move on. I have to feed myself. You are cheating. You have lunch with me today. Do think theres any new information about millicent out . That will come out . Funny you should say that. Imed, one offacet her daughters contacted me on facebook. Really, i thought people would come out of the woodwork. People would be knocking on my door, but not that many actually. I did not find any in reseda, california and one of her best friends agents was there. Was very excited. He never emailed me. I dont know why people dont like emailing me. Talk to me, people. I have a lot of people who thought they had new information about her. Some guy will try to, up and tell me facts about creature as ife black lagoon, i dont know. Im hopeful that when i talked to this woman i will be up to get new information. So far, nothing.
