Died - July 27, 2007

Mr. Tuttle passed away at his own home of natural causes. William is survived by his wife, Anita and daughter Teresa. He was one of the founding members of IATSE Local 706 in 1937. In 1964 Tuttle received a special Academy Award for his work on George Pal's 7 Faces of Dr. Lao; this was 17 years before makeup became an official Oscar category. Was at one time married to Donna Reed from 1943-1945.

Fox studios hired William as a makeup artist after seeing the work he had done at M.G.M. He worked on three films for Fox before returning to M.G.M. and made it his home for 35 years. For eight years, he worked as an assistant to Jack Dawn (by then head makeup artist at M.G.M.) and, after Jack retired, became the head of the department for over 20 years.
