Janeen Davis Schreyer
Journeyman Makeup Artist
1953-2021

Janeen  Schreyer was a remarkable woman who lived an incredibly interesting life. Prior to her long and varied career as a make-up artist in the film industry, Janeen was extremely athletic, enjoying many outdoor sports. She served several seasons on Ski Patrol at Big Bear CA. She was also a fierce competitor at ping pong. 

In her early years, Janeen tried her hand at acting and modeling, achieving success in TV commercials and some stunt work in the film industry. She always had an artistic side, which led her to photography and special make-up effects, which she studied and excelled in. This is where she found her niche. During her decades-long career, she worked with many film stars, including Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifanakis, Michael Douglas, Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges, Ryan Gosling, Jennifer Lawrence, and many more. While she took her craft very seriously, Janeen always loved to play pranks on her co-workers, have fun at work, and laugh.
 
Throughout her life Janeen was always an animal advocate. While filming on the island of Santorini, she witnessed a cat get killed by a car, and she took the surviving newborn kitten back to her hotel, then smuggled the kitten in a fanny pack on her flight to London. In the last months of her life, when 13 wild mustangs showed up on her property looking for food and water, she went out to greet them, and helped the Wild Horse Rescue get them to safety. After her retirement, Janeen planted a large garden, where she grew many vegetables and fruits. She did her best to transform the harsh high desert of Nevada into a garden of Eden.  She donated much of her harvest to a local soup kitchen that feeds the homeless and food-insecure. Janeen was preceded in death by her sister Michele, and is survived by her nephew Daniel, brother-in-law Marko, step-brother Peter, and many cousins.
She leaves behind many friends, both inside and outside of the film industry, who will miss her.
