John Chambers’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.
John Chambers was born in the Year of the Dog. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dog are loyal, faithful, honest, distrustful, often guilty of telling white lies, temperamental, prone to mood swings, dogmatic, and sensitive. Dogs excel in business but have trouble finding mates. Compatible with Tiger or Horse.
Famous for his work on the original Star Trek series and on the Planet of the Apes films, this renowned makeup artist received an Academy Honorary Award in 1968.
Before studying with 20th-century Fox makeup head Ben Nye, Chambers worked as a jewelry designer and built prosthetic arms and legs for soldiers wounded in World War II.
He received the Intelligence Medal of Merit for his key role in securing -- through expert, makeup-based disguises -- the escape of several American hostages from Iran during a 1979 operation known as the "Canadian Caper." Played by John Goodman, he is a character in the Academy Award-winning movie Argo, which tells the story of this unique event.
He grew up in Chicago, Illinois, as the son of Irish-American parents. He later settled in Los Angeles, California, with his wife, Joan.
He is particularly known for fashioning the trademark pointed ears of Leonard Nimoy's Spock character on the original Star Trek series.
