Tami Lane ’96 (and a member of the Alpha Chi Omega Zeta Eta Chapter here at Bradley), is Bradley's first Academy Award winner for her work as the lead prosthetic makeup artist on the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. She was responsible for leading a team of 42 makeup and prosthetic experts who often worked on more than 170 creatures each day. Only two, Lane and Howard Berger, were specifically named for this film. Lane has worked on major films including The Green Mile, Vampire, The Lord of the Rings, and the upcoming Superman Returns. In 2002, Lane was a member of the makeup team who earned an Oscar nomination for work in New Zealand on The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
As an art major with an emphasis in graphic design, Lane did makeup for local theater. A friend told her about Dr. Robert Jacobs, professor of communication, who took students on an annual trip to Los Angeles, including a visit to a makeup effects house. Lane left for Los Angeles with Jacobs' group of 10 students and was introduced to Howard Berger, part-owner of KNB EFX Group, Inc., a creature shop. When she handed him her business card—a paddle ball with her contact information on it, he suggested she contact him after graduation. Two weeks after graduating from Bradley, she returned to Berger's company. Although he didn't recall Lane initially, he remembered her creative use of the paddle ball "business cards." He offered her a job, and she worked for him until branching out on her own in 2000. In 2004, Lane answered another call from Berger, this time for the position of lead prosthetic artist on The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
The day after the Academy Awards presentation, Jacobs praised her for following her dream. "I'm more proud of Tami than I can say."
