32 • THE ARTISAN SPRING 2023 1950's era theater and a 1960's prom. Barbara and her hard- working team, including Helena Cepeda, Lucia Mace, Lisa Marie Alpert, Yvonne Depatis-Kupka, and Barbara Dally were wig washing warriors and maintained them beautifully. As we were working in COVID time, cleaning and sterilization was imperative. I am happy to say we had zero shutdowns and I thank my crew for contributing to that. Actor fittings started with Michelle Williams, who wore a wig for the first portion of the film. Later we used her own hair. A shorter period pixie look using just a few tape-in extensions. Angela Levin came on board as her personal make-up. Eryn was my partner in crime as we went through the rest of the cast and began our journey. I got to extremely buzz Seth Rogen's long and wooly hair, including a razored back hairline to an "oh my" receded level to reflect the real uncle Bennie. Rox handled him for the shoot and colored his own grey in for the earlier years while adding more grey as we progressed into the '60s. It was a really different look for him and we enjoyed doing it. Add the horn rim glasses and there was Bennie. For the dad, Paul Dano, I darkened his own hair with Redken Shades EQ. I used mousse and blew dry his hair to add more volume for his younger self. As he aged, we added grey, a small bit of oil, and combed his hair further back off his hairline to make it look less. Additionally, I painted some of the roots in his temples, flesh tone with a palette, to make his hair appear thinner while Eryn added sideburns. For Gabe/Sammy, we had three stages. When he was a younger preteen, we applied a short wig, made perfectly by Stacey Butterworth. For high school, we used his own hair. e last stage was the end of the '60s. (the look we all commonly know as early, Steven Spielberg). A horseshoe wrap, also expertly made by Stacy, to make the sides and back longer.
