longer sideburns and coloring to match the wig. He and some
of the other characters had to look like they had been partying.
Taylor's character, Erica, was Rand's Pam. Erica was a well-known
adult film actress in the '80s and '90s. Her look varied from a
more natural daily look to her working girl look.
The main cast was surrounded by an incredibly talented
supporting cast that included celebrities such as Jay Leno and
Hugh Hefner. The supporting cast and background actors were
meticulously period-correct. Ensuring that everyone looked
picture-perfect were make-up artists Victor Del Castillo, Joleen
Rizzo, Robyn Rebbe, and contact lenses tech Brittani McNeal.
It's the people who made the project special. All of the artists
mentioned here and all of those in respective departments made
this show a success. Everyone felt that this was one of those
special projects that comes around only once in a great while.
Each individual arrived on set with the talent, dedication, and
conviction to collaborate on this unique project. I am forever
grateful for my opportunity to have led this group. •
