    Served as chief hairstylist at MGM from 1934 to the late 1970s. Such was his impeccable reputation that Grace Kelly summoned him to style her hair for her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956. He designed Judy Garland's ponytails for her Dorothy inThe Wizard of Oz (1939). A frantic Marilyn Monroe called him on the night she died--August 4, 1962. He made legal history in 1938 by becoming the first bachelor in the United States to adopt a child.
