Nora De La Torre
(1932-2021)
Journeyman Makeup Artist

Make-up Artist Nora De La Torre was one of our first female Make-up Artists, joining Local 706 in 1977.

She worked for many years with Ricardo Montalban on Fantasy Island; other credits include Dukes of Hazzard, Different Stokes, Moonlighting, The A Team, Ellen and Picket Fences. 

At a dinner in 2017 honoring these pioneering female members, she observed "Here we are… the first female Make-up Artists and we are a completely diverse group; I am Mexican. We have Black, Hispanic, Asian and White women from the get go." Nora retired in 2006 and is survived by her husband Robert.
