46 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2024 one brunette wig for her flashback scenes in the 1940s. Frida Aradottir was Laura Dern's personal stylist and her look was inspired by Jane Birkin's look from the 1960s, with a more hippie, earthy vibe than you might typically expect from the high society of Palm Beach. Laura and Frida worked out the look with Natascha and achieved a beautiful, long golden-red wig with bangs, perfectly capturing the style of the day. We were also incredibly lucky to work with the legendary Carol Burnett, who wore a cute strawberry blonde short wig, that by Carol's request closely resembled her dear friend Lucille Ball's look on I Love Lucy. Leslie Bibb's look was modeled aer classic actress Barbara Parkins, with a darker wig. My assistant department head Brittany Madrigal worked on Leslie Bibb, with the wig set and styled using many extra pieces to create volume on top; Ricky Martin, who had a sleek, gelled look; Dominic Burgess, who wore a toupee that I found in the John Blake collection; and Kaia Gerber, who wore many extensions and bumps for volume. Hair stylist Tiffany Bloom worked on Carol Burnett; Julia Duffy, who wore a white top hairpiece that was made from a John Blake wig created by Yvette Stone and styled by Tiffany; and Mindy Cohn, with a wig that was also designed by Yvette Stone, cut and styled to suit her character. Key hair stylist Cyndra Dunn put together an all-star team of background hair artists with Audrey Soto, including Gail Ryan, Lucia Mace, Linda Dalbec-Rasmussen, Anthony Wilson, Donna Anderson, Matt Danon, David Danon, Norma Lee and many many others who were just amazing, some of whom had lived during the era and brought their personal experience to the set. e background all needed to be super polished and perfectly period, including for the 1940s and 1950s flashbacks, with smaller waves and shorter hair. e background oen helped us by coming to set already rolled. Cyndra also worked on Claudia Ferri, who wore multiple hairpieces to create a very 'Charo' look for her character. Jill Crosby designed and styled Allison Janney's look for the character Evelyn, which was a huge part of the look and feel of the show. Jill created an Esmeralda style for Allison with two wigs made by Rob Pickens and extra pieces that Jill maneuvered with skill and expertise. We asked the men to grow their hair out a little bit so that we could cut it to our specifications, and we le their sideburns on the long side. In Florida during this time period, men were very polished and put together, with Brylcreem, side parts and their hair pushed forward. ere weren't as many wigs for the men, but there were a few that we used, in particular for Dominic. Series creator Abe Sylvia wanted Dominic's toupee to look slightly off to match his character, and we achieved that with a fabulous John Blake piece. I had worked with our incredible department head make-up and Kristen's personal artist, Tricia Sawyer for several years, and her team's amazing work set the stage for our styles. I truly can't imagine working on Palm Royale with anyone else. A tremendous thank you to my entire team and all of the wonderful Local 706 artists who joined us on this fantastic journey. And last but certainly not least, to Kristen Wiig, for your leadership and energy. • L-R: Claudia Ferri as Raquel Kimberly-Marco, Julia Duffy as Mary Jones Davidsoul, Allison Janney, and Leslie Bibb,
