VISIT US AT: EIDO-ED.COM maintain the hairpieces for the Mrs. She also helped with Meg, and worked on a lot of Meg's doubles. Colleen LaBaff (The Longest Ride, The Originals, The Vampire Diaries, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) is a very creative hair stylist who took care of a lot of the men, as well as Mrs. Whatsit's hair. Then of course, there's my mom, Jasmine Kimble, who taught me and has been working with me since the begin- ning on films like Dreamgirls and Sparkle. She did Mrs. Murry's hair (Meg's mother), as well as Charles Wallace. On such a huge film, organization is key. We had two hair trailers—one for the Mrs. and one for the rest of the cast. I had four stylists with me each day, plus a whole team of wigmakers and assistants who would be prepping looks for the next day and generally making sure everything was being stored in the proper place. I had a top-notch team who knew its stuff, so I didn't have to worry about the day- to-day organizational side of things as much, and was able to concentrate on being creative and doing my best to help bring Ava's vision to life. There were so many more wonderful hair artists involved in this project that it's impossible to do justice to all their contributions here, but I do want to give them a shout out: Dugg Kirkpatrick, Melissa Yonkey, Monte Haught, Christopher Gees, Steven Soussanna, Kimberley Spiteri, Audrey Anzures, Maria Valdivia, Conrad Hilton, Stacy Morris, Martin Samuel, Kimi Messina … Couldn't have done this without every one of you guys! Finally, I'd like to share one of my most cherished mem- ories from set. Oprah would bring all the hair and make- up people these amazing treats to eat. Half of us were on Weight Watchers, but we couldn't stop eating them! There were delicious muffins and bakery jam, plus truffle oil and salt that were just amazing. Sometimes people take the hair and make-up team for granted (although they shouldn't because we're the ones that make them look good!), but Oprah was so generous and went out of her way to make sure to show her appreciation. It definitely made me feel valued and created a beautiful sense of camaraderie on set.•
