Haley Bennett, who played Carolyn Bryant, the accuser,
and Tosin Cole, who played Medgar Evers, a Civil Rights
activist, wore wigs and hairpieces that were cut and styled
to look like the historical characters they portrayed.
Our hair department team of experts—Deaundra Harris-
Metzger, Department Head Hair; Maurice Beaman, key
hair stylist; Terence Alston; Jerome Allen; and Cynthia
Chapman—were pleased to participate in creating a piece
of the vision that director Chukwu and the producers
had for Till. Truly, this film is one of the most important
stories of racism in America. •
