Lana Turner. I remember reading the story in her autobiography. She played an Asian (gotta love that old Hollywood casting) in a film - “The Adventures of Marco Polo” and they never grew back. I remember in her autobio, when she eloped with Artie Shaw, she forgot her eyebrow pencil & had to draw them in with a regular pencil before facing the press about the marriage.

Link to an imdB thread on the subject: [http://imdb.com/name/nm0001805/board/nest/25261958](http://imdb.com/name/nm0001805/board/nest/25261958)

VCNJ~

My mom told me a story about an actress that plucked all her eyebrows for a role and they never grew back so she always had to draw them on. I don’t remember who that was though.

I also remember those stencils for eyebrows and there were some for lips, too. It made playing dress-up with mom’s make-up so much easier.
