"Episode 305" - Since its premiere as a one-hour special in December 2002, "Extreme Makeover" has become a pop culture phenomenon-to the extent that the very title is now common vernacular. The program has unveiled some of the most jaw-dropping transformations of people, dramatically and forever changing their lives and looks through plastic surgery. "Extreme Makeover" airs THURSDAY, MARCH 3 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 10/28/04)

Marque and Elisa were given a life changing experience, as they were able to change their looks in an effort to transform their lives and destinies and to make their dreams come true. This was all accomplished through the skills of an "Extreme Team," including plastic surgeons, eye surgeons and cosmetic dentists, along with a talented team of hair and makeup artists, stylists and personal trainers. In addition, participants recuperate at the "Makeover Mansion," the new luxurious mansion tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, CA, complete with stunning views, a swimming pool, fully equipped home gym and plasma televisions.

Marque is a 48-year-old singer/musician stuck in the 1970s from North Hollywood, CA. Hard times and struggle have aged his rock star looks.
