34 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2025 Her make-up featured classic '60s liquid liner, false lashes, and a coral lip. For Anthony Mackie, we styled him with a short '70s look for his taxi driver character. Make-up artist Cassie Lyons laid a flawless beard and sideburns on him. For Paul Dano's character, we designed a detachable ponytail that could be removed mid-scene to show his transition from playing himself to playing a role. This also inspired our new band name, "Detachable Ponytails." The show visited many Hollywood tropes, and several times during the season, you see wide shots of Continental Studios. We had everything: showgirls, soldiers, Santa, zombies, and Westerns. One episode featured Johnny Knoxville and Josh Hutcherson in a zombie movie. For the zombie, we used a topper from our box of tricks, making it greasy with pomade for a stringy, disconnected look. It was gross—in the best way. Make-up artists Mara Rouse and Ralis Kahn used in-house prosthetics but manipulated them to look custom. Kathryn Hahn and Chase Sui Wonders One of the producers was so frightened by the zombie that she started to shake and cry! He looked disgusting in an accomplished way. One of our biggest episodes was the Golden Globes episode. We had a week of intense days filled with big hair and make-up looks. Some of our actors commented on feeling as though they were at the Globes. It felt grand and authentic. We are so grateful to have our family from Local 706 show up and have fun doing our craft. Thank you to the many beautifully talented 706 artists for coming out and making us look amazing. It really shows and is greatly appreciated. We love each and every one of you. Don't roll the music—we aren't done! Thanks to our wonderful Las Vegas hair and make-up team, and lastly, thanks to the Academy for having us. • Anthony Mackie as Anthony, the cabbie Seth Rogen and Catherine O'Hara
