A vigil was held in Los Angeles for celebrity make-up artist Paul Starr who was found dead in his Los Angeles home.  Over the years his clients included a range of famous women including Sophia Loren, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jane Fonda, Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Angelina Jolie, and Jessica Alba. He also wrote a best selling book called Paul Starr on Beauty: Conversations With Thirty Celebrated Women.

Starr is believed to have died of natural causes... “Paul was so beautiful… When he would do my makeup, I always wondered why he wasn’t the one being photographed. He had the best taste in the world... He was versatile, sweet, funny, a wonderful man and a truly great friend”... Anjelica Huston told WWD.
