Glenn Close in "Albert Nobbs."

Longtime make-up artist Matthew W. Mungle has worked on films ranging from “Inception” to “Schindler’s List.” He is nominated for his fourth best make-up Oscar this year for the 19th century-set film “Albert Nobbs.” He won a best make-up Academy Award in 1993 for “Dracula.” For “Albert Nobbs,” Mungle managed to transform beautiful 64-year-old actress Glenn Close into a demure, shy and stately hotel Irish waiter named Albert Nobbs, who lived as a man and concealed his female-born identity. Patt talks to Matthew W. Mungle about make-up and what goes into transforming an actress, or actor, into a character such as Nobbs. Make-up artists for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” and “The Iron Lady” are also nominated this year for the best make-up Oscar.
