There's been a bit of fuss here of late regarding making 3D clones of celebrities. Prevailing opinion seems to be it's not worth risking possible legal actions - at least not to do it publicly or commercially.
However, there's a few 3D Celebrity products (mostly for those who own Victoria 3 by DAZ) both here and at DAZ that bear a kind of generic resemblance to several celebrities. With a little tweaking and customizing you might get one to come close, then just map a good photograph to the face and you could be surprised at the results. You'd need to develop some familiarity with Poser, Texture Mapping, Morphs, and such. Then you could export from Poser and import it into MAX, if that's your goal.
Tutorials on these and many more subjects are available via the "Tutorial" link atop this page. You can also find a lot of good solid step-by-step examples if you do a search on "geep" here for Dr Geep's tutorial threads.
Good luck with your project.
