THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2022 • 51 looks range from sexy eortless hair to a premiere updo style and everything in between." "We need more hair and sideburns!!!'' —e 'hair & make-up trailer' Renée Vaca: "When it came to making the boys look good and of the period, our main cast and secondary characters were ready and willing to jump into the period. Frank John Hughes (Frank Sinatra) completely committed. We executed this by shaving from the front hairline, three inches back and pushing the back hair forward to achieve the look. Jake Cannavale (Caesar) fearlessly had me cut two feet of his beautiful long thick curly hair into a short maa look. Joseph Russo (Crazy Joe Gallo) had his hairline and entire top thinned out with a facial mole made and applied by Katy Fray. ere were many challenges throughout this production. With the constraints surrounding the COVID-19 epidemic, we had to be safe and work around a lot of unusual workplace obstacles. e cast and crew came together to make the best show possible. We recre- ated so many iconic hair and make-up looks and couldn't be prouder of the show we have created together. We, Katy Fray and Renée Vaca, would like to thank all the Local 706 make-up and hair artists who contributed and enhanced the feel of our show. • transfers to achieve the old-age make-up. With a Matthew Mungle old-age stipple, shading, teeth plumbers, age spots, all focused on the original design, using jutting features. Justin loved this process and welcomed the way we helped him transform himself into the real Brando.

With their guidance and the new technology available today, we were excited by the end result. We did our best to recreate a new version of what Dick Smith made for the original movie. Instead of metal to hold it together, we used a tooth vacuform that we then sculpted for the plumplers. We then recast the grill with thin vacucfom and dental acrylic to achieve the ensconced jaw of the Don in e Godfather." Renée Vaca: "Justin Chambers was transformed from Marlon Brando to the Godfather. Starting with blond hair, extensions were added for a low ponytail. El Patron, instead of shoe polish which was actually used by Brando, was used in the scene when he transforms himself for the producers. Justin's hair was then colored dark brown and styled appropriately, while Katy Fray and her team created amazing teeth to complete e Godfather look." "e beautiful and powerful owner of the Chateau Marmont, Nora Arnezeder (Francoise Glazer), was completely transformed…'' Katy Fray: "For Francoise, we chose to use a more classic European inuence, using Paris Vogue 1960s references which was a soer look with a more classic red lip line to give a sexy French love interest. Her make-up told the story from the glamorous premiere screening to a so, distressed look in bed. Helen Kalognomos executed the make- up daily in such beautiful detail." Renée Vaca: "Nora Arnezeder, a blonde short-haired beauty, morphed into Francoise Glazer.
