of the actors, and John in particular, could have their make-up applied relatively quickly so that they could have as much time on set as possible. Our aim in designing his make-up was that it could be applied in less than three hours. Roger Ailes had a very particular head shape and hairline that were quite different from John's. I asked John if he would let me shave his hairline to change his facial proportion and explained this would significantly help to reduce his time in the make-up chair. I then gave him a nose, cheeks, neck and ear lobes. Later, Anne Morgan cleaned up his hairline beautifully, and she also attached hair extensions, plus added some color. In the scenes where Roger Ailes shows up at a younger age, I made an additional lower-lip piece to make his lips fuller. He was also painted with younger complexion and his hair was darkened. Since I started before there was a make-up and hair department head on board, we had to look for that role at the same time the design process was starting. I asked my good friend Bill Corso and he recommended Vivian Baker. We needed someone who was particularly strong with beauty and prosthetics. I knew Vivian's work and I had heard how amazing she was, but she turned out to be the absolute perfect fit. Our hair department head was Anne Morgan. Anne had worked with Jay in the past so she was obviously a great choice. I feel so fortunate that I was able to work with these amazingly talented artists. Kelly Golden and myself applied Charlize's prosthetic make-up. Then Vivian applied beauty make-up on top. Charlize actually did some of her make-up herself as well. She is a great make-up artist in her own right. The wig was designed by Anne Morgan and applied daily by Adruitha Lee. Bill Corso applied Nicole's make-up, and her wig was dressed and applied by Kim Santantonio. Richard Redlefsen and Hiroshi Yada applied John's make-up. Vivian gathered a really great make-up team in the trailer. This production had amazing people in every department. This project truly had the most difficult make-up to apply that I've ever seen but it's an incredible testament to the team that it was also the most pleasant production I have ever worked on.
