Oscar-winning Canadian make-up artist. A hairdresser from the age of eighteen, LeBlanc graduated from the New Brunswick Institute of Technology before moving to Toronto as a wig maker. He first worked in the film industry as a hair stylist in 1974. Within a decade, he had established a strong reputation for designing individual styles to complement the specific characters of his clientele. Actresses Susan Sarandon (Lorenzo'nun Yağı (1992), Alacakaranlık (1998), Omuz omuza (1998)) and Sharon Stone (Temel İçgüdü (1992), Hızlı ve Ölü (1995), Casino (1995)) counted among his most frequent collaborations. He also worked on the Coen brothers films Nerdesin be birader? (2000), Orada olmayan adam (2001) and Kadın avcıları (2004). Other notable credits as hair designer/stylist included Mississippi yanıyor (1988), Maskeli Kahraman Zorro (1998) and Siyah Kuğu (2010).

Popularly, LeBlanc's best-known creations were Princess Leia's long braids (as Jabba's slave and on Endor) for Yıldız Savaşları: Jedi'nin Dönüşü (1983) and Javier Bardem's sinister bowl-cut for İhtiyarlara Yer Yok (2007). The latter, he explained, was fashioned after medieval Crusaders "when knights and Muslims were murdering each other, and this was a typical haircut. It was a dangerous time and we wanted to make Javier timeless and dangerous at first sight."

LeBlanc was co-recipient (with fellow make-up artist Dick Smith) of both an Academy Award and a BAFTA for his work on Amadeus (1984). In 2003, he also received a lifetime achievement award from the Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild. Four years later he set up Studio Paul LeBlanc in his home town of Dieppe. Latterly, he published two books of reminiscences about his tenure in the film industry, entitled "You Can Get There From Here" and "Moving On".
