Hair and Makeup Artist - Vesta Goodarz
Vesta's fascination with make up started at the very young age and continued after she graduated in arts from Cal Arts. She has painted thousands of faces over the years, bringing elements of beauty and character to individuals from housewives to celebrities, from cancer patients to women in their 90s. "When I paint faces I feel the soul beneath my brush and I manifest what is hidden. Often a painted face will help to reveal what is not seen." She began her career simultaneously in make up and photography in LA more than a decade ago, first in editorial and fashion and then expanded to theatre and motion pictures. { www.VestaGoodarz.com }

After a brief stint in one of Florida's most prestigious community colleges and the Army Reserves, Duncan moved to New York City in 1998 to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts like Robert Redford and Danny DeVito before him.
