Angelina Jolie's former make-up artist was found dead yesterday (08/19/08).

Paul Starr - who has worked for Hollywood stars including Jolie, Mariah
Carey, Jessica Alba, Renee Zellweger and Jennifer Garner - was discovered in
his Los Angeles apartment after friends became worried after not hearing
from him for several days.

The cosmetician - who was reported to be 48-years-old - had worked in the
industry for the past two decades and authored a book in 2005 entitled 'Paul
Starr on Beauty: Conversations with Thirty Celebrated Women'.

In the book, Starr's former clients spoke about their relationship with the
make-up artist.

Jolie said: "During the time we have spent in the make-up chair, we talked
about everything but the photo shoot - global issues, babies, human rights."

'Alias' star Jennifer Garner added: "Paul Starr has this uncanny ability to
look at a face and see what it needs. He's done my face a thousand times and
never repeated a look. I have never felt more like the best version of
myself than when Paul has made me up."

Starr's cause of death is as yet unknown.
