The make-uo made Miss Pittman


Ciecly Tyson received two awards for her performance in this movie, but it really wasn't her acting so much that made the character of Miss Jane Pittman, it was the make-up that was applied to Ms. Tyson. Ciecly's performance was quite good, but the make-up artist who prepared her for this role should have received most of the credit.

I disagree. The make up was unrealistic. Black people do not age in that way. If that had been a Caucasian person then the make up would have been fine. Ms Tyson does deserve credit for ALL she brought to that role.

Oh NOOooooo. Voice, movement,older attitude ALL were done so well by her. (Imagine a bad actress with that make-up but acting young still)

Remember that is 1974 era make-up, we are used to the better materials used now
