”Lon" Pellett make-up man
by Bobbie Wilson When Mike Algate won the lead roll of Willie Clark in “The Sunshine Boys”, Nappanee Civic Theatre was faced with a large problem-how to transform this handsome young man into an old vaudeville star. The problem was solved when former NCT member, and good friend, “Hap” Hossler, referred us to Lorenzo “Lon” Pellett from South Bend, who could transform Mike into Willie Clark with his make-up magic. Mr. Pellet graduated from Lakeville High School in 1930. After retiring from Bendix as a tool and die designer, Mr. Pellett accepted an invitation to spend several months in Greece, sharing his skills with local craftsmen. Mr. Pellett is a modest man, and doesn’t want to be called a “make-up man.” His career in make-up started with the South Bend Scottish Rite. Lon said, “A man sat down in a chair and I just did it,” and he’s been “doing it” for 25 years! NCT is honored to have this artist working with the crew on “The Sunshine Boys” and would like to thank “Hap” for bringing him to our at-
