34 • THE ARTISAN WINTER 2023 Keeping the classic bob length, but her waves and texture were more free flowing. For her later years, we had two reference images of Gladys to draw inspiration from. Andrew and I felt not enough time had passed to reference the white so we opted for a salt and pepper with depth through the base. Rob customized a His & Hers wig, re-fronting the hairline to work for our needs. Lynnae painted Julianne's own hairline a flesh tone to help disguise her darker hair under the white hair at the wig front. When David (Mr. Z) came to us, he had a full buzz cut. We con- tacted Peter Owen Wigs in the UK to send some rental options. Vi- sually inspired by Darryl Zanuck, who had a scissor cut short sides and back with a little wave through the top. Thankfully, we found a rental that not only fit well, it had the style, texture and shape we were after. Ahou applied David's wig daily and kept on it like a hawk. Mr. Z was always in a suit or tuxedo, you know how tricky a collar and wig combo can be! Ahou also worked with Dan Butler. He had very short sides and back and naturally no hair through the top. To give Dan a period-correct style, we asked him to let his hair grow and Rob custom-made a fine lace piece that glued down on one side and styled as a comb-over. Dan was over the moon and felt it really helped him find his character within the period. Ahou delicately applied with love daily. JLM: If it wasn't for the help on our bigger days with all the men's haircuts and grooming, applying wigs, styling women's hair into period-correct styles, we would have lost this battle. We would love to thank all those who came to help, including Meghan Heaney, Dana Vargas, Norma Lee, Dennis Ramirez, Suzie Hornbeek, Sapphire Ha, and everyone that came to play. TRK: I couldn't have done this film without Jaime Leigh. We make great dance partners. I'm thankful for the support of my core team of Elena Arroy and Cassie Lyons and the talent of additional make-up artists, including Amy Lederman, Monica Caldera, Nichole Hawk- yard, Kristin Durante, Claudia Humburg and Liz Briseno and more. Besides the beautiful period make-up, covering tattoos kept you all very busy! We're humbled by the kind words from many fellow artisan peers regarding our work on this film. Thank you. •
