Whether it’s the baby’s mustache on Addams Family Values or Martin Short’s Jiminy Glick in Primetime Glick, Haney’s characters always have a surprise of quirkiness in his creations. Haney began his career as a lab assistant to the legendary Dick Smith on the 1980 feature Altered States, going on to worked on Saturday Night Live and a staff position at NBC. He created aging effects on Dan Aykroyd for Driving Miss Daisy that won the Oscar for Outstanding Makeup.

His long list of credits also includes Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Dungeons & Dragons, Honor Among Thieves, the Hocus Pocus films, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, Planet of the Apes (2001), Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Shawshank Redemption, Dick Tracy, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and dozens more. His TV work includes Friends and The Mandalorian, Friends, Perry Mason and many others.

A two-time Emmy nominee for Path to War and Frank’s Place, Green has amassed dozens of TV and film credits ranging from groundbreaking 1970s Norman Lear series to Ally McBeal, Star Trek: Nemesis and Blade. She began her studio career working on popular sitcoms Good Times, Maude and One Day at a Time before transitioning to feature films including Best Picture Oscar winner Driving Miss Daisy, Hook, Thirteen Days, Supernova, Wayne’s World 2, and many others.

Green joined Local 706 in 1977, at a time when the union was going through many transitions, and has been a trailblazer who helped open the doors for other women. She quickly proved herself to be one of the most valuable and in-demand stylists, who could handle any task with style, grace and her infallible sense of humor.
