It is with the deepest of hearts that we confirm that Marc Elliot Pilcher, Academy Award Nominee and Emmy Award winning Hair & Make Up Designer/Stylist, passed away after a battle with Covid-19 on Sunday 3rd October 2021.
Marc entered the industry via the theatre working on shows such as Company, Sunset Boulevard and Aspects of Love. As for many, it was his training ground and for 15 years he worked in London’s West End and around the UK on major stage plays and musicals.
In the early 2000s, Marc entered the film and television industry and worked on major tv shows and features as a hairdresser, stylist and makeup artist. During this time, he worked with artists including Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Emily Blunt, Shirley MacLaine, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Michael Gambon, Madonna, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott Thomas and Sir Ian McKellen amongst many others.
In 2016, he designed his first show, The Collection – a drama set in post-war Paris. In 2019 he was nominated for an Academy Award for his Hair Styling on Mary Queen of Scots. Most recently, he had won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Period And/Or Character Hairstyling for his work on Series 1 of Netflix’s critically acclaimed Bridgerton. Marc also received 3 Hollywood Makeup Artist & Hairstyling Guild Awards for his work on Bridgerton, Downton Abbey and Mary Queen of Scots.
Glamourous and extravagant he brought his flair and style to every design. Never limited in his thought process for his creations, he pushed boundaries and created work never realised before.
He was 53, double vaccinated with no underlying health condition.
