Jacques Kapralik was a Romanian American caricaturist best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s.[1]

Born in Bucharest, Romania, Kapralik came to the United States in 1936. He specialized in designing miniature models resembling film stars, which were then photographed against backgrounds giving a three-dimensional effect.[2]

Although Kapralik's work occasionally appeared onscreen in films such as Presenting Lily Mars, most of his output was devoted to publicity materials in trade magazine ads and press kits. [citation needed]

Kapralik died in 1960, in Los Angeles, California.[citation needed]
