Speaker 1: Still the Place with Laura Layton, Courtney thorn Smith.
Speaker 2: And Daphne's Aniga and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: Hello lady, Hi, welcome to this Malrose Minute. So we
Speaker 3: had so much fun. We went on such a tangent
Speaker 3: on the last recap talking about bad hair experiences, and
Speaker 3: we realized we're nowhere near done.
Speaker 4: No so much more to talk about.
Speaker 3: Like I always joke about, let's talk about my hair,
Speaker 3: but I realized, I think I actually do want.
Speaker 5: To talk about hair.
Speaker 2: There's a reason both of us, all of us wear
Speaker 2: our hair the exact same now, like we don't do
Speaker 2: anything with it, Like I don't care what.
Speaker 5: I'm doing, It's always the same.
Speaker 6: I can't say the same for myself.
Speaker 4: I go through like I'll grow it up really long
Speaker 4: because I just ignore it. And then I'll go, nope,
Speaker 4: I'm going short, and I'll like, I'll do like a
Speaker 4: really drastic haircut, and then go what was I thinking?
Speaker 3: And then I didn't even wait for your drastic haircut
Speaker 3: on court because you you had this idea came to mind.
Speaker 3: What came to mind for me was when I did
Speaker 3: Ali McBeal and I had this areas stockingly wait but
Speaker 3: longer it was, and also it was thicker because I
Speaker 3: was younger, and it was really long and full and
Speaker 3: just gorgeous. And they had this idea that I would
Speaker 3: cut my hair and uh, that my character Georgia would
Speaker 3: cut her hair, which, by the way, is why Georgie
Speaker 3: is named Georgie and not Georgia, because I thought that
Speaker 3: would sound insane to name her after a character I
Speaker 3: played on television. Oh so that's my dog, by the way,
Speaker 3: for those of you who don't know. And it was
Speaker 3: this it was a reveal, like I walk into the
Speaker 3: office and I turn around, and I think it was
Speaker 3: when long hair was sort of out and short hair
Speaker 3: was coming in. It was a very dramatic, like cool thing.
Speaker 3: And I think that my husband played by Gilbellos, was
Speaker 3: flirting with Ali played by Callista and it was kind
Speaker 3: of my big dramatic moment.
Speaker 1: And I looked back.
Speaker 3: At the haircut and it was awful, like it was
Speaker 3: looked like Florence Henderson.
Speaker 1: It was sort of like a bowl.
Speaker 5: And then it flipped at the bottom.
Speaker 1: It's a bowl.
Speaker 3: I remember at the time though it was cool. I
Speaker 3: remember the hair hairstyling magazines. Yeah, yeah, it was in
Speaker 3: every hairstyling magazine, and I look back and it was horrifying,
Speaker 3: just horrifying.
Speaker 5: And then can the reviews say about it? Did they
Speaker 5: comment on your haircut?
Speaker 3: Like it was in every hairstyling magazine? Like now it
Speaker 3: looks to me like the John and Kate plus eight hairdoo,
Speaker 3: Like now it looks so ridiculous to me, but it was.
Speaker 3: And then I just went shorter and shorter and shorter
Speaker 3: till I had like, wow, a little pixie and I
Speaker 3: loved it. But there's nothing else you can do with
Speaker 3: the pixie. No, you'll kind of naked. So I don't
Speaker 3: think I'll ever.
Speaker 1: Do that again.
Speaker 6: And growing it out is so painful.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the idea was they would schedule it so
Speaker 3: that I would have long hair and then there had
Speaker 3: short hair. But then they missed the schedule and I
Speaker 3: had to go back, so I had a long wig.
Speaker 1: And a short way you know, Oh my god, hair
Speaker 1: was such a How did those wigs look? Did they
Speaker 1: look look terrible?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: They're not going to spend money on a real hair wig, right,
Speaker 3: Like one of my girlfriends hand weeds real hair wigs,
Speaker 3: and they're gorgeous, but they're thousands of dollars they are.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and depending on the production, Yeah, they might not
Speaker 4: be getting the most the highest.
Speaker 3: It's not worth it for the filler while they're doing
Speaker 3: my trying to figure out my hair. But I remember
Speaker 3: it was such a big dealer. I remember driving home
Speaker 3: from the hair salon and not feeling my hair.
Speaker 1: It was all gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I cut my hair right before Melrose. That's why
Speaker 2: I come on Melrose with short hair. I played a
Speaker 2: serial killer or something and oh, and I was.
Speaker 1: You didn't want your hair something serial killer and I.
Speaker 2: And then I dressed like the victim. So that had
Speaker 2: a blonde wig in it, which I thought, oh, I'm
Speaker 2: going to be blonde for a while. It is I
Speaker 2: looked horrible as a blonde and at least to play with. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I had a red wig and I was like, Laura,
Speaker 2: you look great as a redded.
Speaker 5: I looked horrible as I redded.
Speaker 2: But then they finally cut it and so short that
Speaker 2: they had to shave the back, you know.
Speaker 5: Because I was like a guy.
Speaker 1: I was. It was I was.
Speaker 5: Pretending I was a man so that I wouldn't be
Speaker 5: caught as a woman. Whatever. Anyway, I'm dying to see
Speaker 5: this movie. No, it's terrible. I was called a chameleon.
Speaker 5: It's called the chamelion.
Speaker 2: But at any rate, I cut my hair really short
Speaker 2: so that it was shaved back there. My boyfriend at
Speaker 2: the time loved it. But you know, a lot of
Speaker 2: guys like the short hair. I've never had it since,
Speaker 2: but I had to grow it out. But but I
Speaker 2: felt the same thing.
Speaker 5: My head was really light, Courtney. I don't know how
Speaker 5: short years was, but it was like very naked. I
Speaker 5: felt very kind of like, ah, you're seeing everything. I
Speaker 5: can't hide anything, you know, Yes, and then it sally.
Speaker 4: Just grew out and Okay, you guys are describing you
Speaker 4: guys are describing haircuts that you're like feeling like we're
Speaker 4: such dramatic change. I feel like I go through that
Speaker 4: every five years anyway, Like I just I go from
Speaker 4: long to short and then still have to like go
Speaker 4: through growing pains and grown it out.
Speaker 6: I'm constantly changing the length.
Speaker 4: And but my my on screen hair trauma. I had
Speaker 4: a couple I did an episode I think it was
Speaker 4: called I think I did. It was the Outer Limits,
Speaker 4: remember that sci fi, of course, and I played twins,
Speaker 4: and so one twin had you know, long regular hair
Speaker 4: and the other twin I had this really short, like
Speaker 4: really pixie like wig, and so that was, you know,
Speaker 4: to make that story of two very different looking characters,
Speaker 4: and that was really jarring.
Speaker 6: To see myself like that.
Speaker 4: But on Pretty Little Liars, I had to do a
Speaker 4: full scene in a bald cap.
Speaker 6: Not that's completely head shaven.
Speaker 4: It was, Yeah, so I win here in terms of
Speaker 4: you know, dramatic extreme hair moment on screen. The bald
Speaker 4: cap was for a nightmare sequence that I my character
Speaker 4: is in jail and it's a nightmare sequence.
Speaker 6: That my daughter's having about me being in an.
Speaker 4: Orange jumpsuit with my hair totally shaved, and it there's
Speaker 4: like a fish eye lens moment where I'm screaming terrified.
Speaker 4: I can't remember if it was my nightmare or hers,
Speaker 4: but anyway, you have to shoot the scene. So I'm
Speaker 4: in a full like one bald and like fully committing
Speaker 4: to this like over the top nightmare, you know, terror scream.
Speaker 3: I can never figure out, because you have a lot
Speaker 3: of gorgeous hair, how do they make those look real?
Speaker 1: I'm always looking for the edge. Did it look real?
Speaker 6: It's yeah, it's crazy cool.
Speaker 5: I don't never see the scene here.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's just this tight thing.
Speaker 4: I mean they wind your hair really tightly underneath, and
Speaker 4: there's i think usually like a layer of something that
Speaker 4: holds it in first like a wrap first, and then
Speaker 4: the actual bald cap. And then there's there's makeup that
Speaker 4: goes over it, that blends the seam, and and it's glued.
Speaker 4: It's glued on your face right around the edges, so
Speaker 4: it's glued to your face, and then makeup to cover
Speaker 4: the seams, and then to come off it's really like
Speaker 4: pulling it all off.
Speaker 3: So you have that sure, at least there in moment
Speaker 3: when you went this is good.
Speaker 4: I mean I did take a lot of pictures and
Speaker 4: send them to my family at the time, and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, Okay, holy pictures. You have to We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to fu I can find the shor hair.
Speaker 6: Mine's on screen too. It's not it's not hard to find.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But nowadays, you said, Court, you haven't changed your haircut.
Speaker 2: I always do kind of the same. Sometimes I'll do
Speaker 2: some highlights or something.
Speaker 6: But well I do.
Speaker 3: I'm I go short every few years and I go,
Speaker 3: what am I doing?
Speaker 1: Why do I ever?
Speaker 3: And I think I see a cute picture. I think
Speaker 3: I'm too old for long hair. I have to get
Speaker 3: it cut short. And I do it, and I go why,
Speaker 3: Like at this point, I don't care. I'm more comfortable
Speaker 3: with longer hair. I just too, I think it's more
Speaker 3: flattering for me.
Speaker 4: I like the idea of wigs too, that you can
Speaker 4: like try something new without fully committed like I also,
Speaker 4: I dyed my hair blonde for a role like, oh,
Speaker 4: I think this person she was a reporter and uh
Speaker 4: it was. It was a naked city movie like the
Speaker 4: old film noir, sort of remake of it, Peter Bugdanovitch directed.
Speaker 4: And I was playing this like, you know, reporter, and
Speaker 4: I was like, she needs to be blonde and and
Speaker 4: and instead of.
Speaker 5: Just wonder, they wanted you to be now.
Speaker 4: I don't remember if it was just my idea of
Speaker 4: the character or if it was you know, mutual, but
Speaker 4: instead of just going, oh, I want to wear a
Speaker 4: wig and be blonde that way, I dyed my hair,
Speaker 4: which was a huge mistake because going from red to
Speaker 4: blonde nearly impossible to get all the red out, and
Speaker 4: so there was a couple of days there. It was
Speaker 4: like a few days of a process to get it
Speaker 4: to actually blonde, and in between, it's sort of like
Speaker 4: this apricot color. It's it's not red, it's not blonde,
Speaker 4: it's kind of pink and it's like an apricot. And
Speaker 4: it was really unfortunate and I was terrified, like, oh
Speaker 4: did it strip your hair?
Speaker 6: Oh it was trashed. I mean yeah, I had a
Speaker 6: really great hair color ass.
Speaker 4: Doing it, but it was just so many process scenes
Speaker 4: to get it.
Speaker 3: When I got Melrow's place, I had brown hair because
Speaker 3: I dyed it brown to get smart Girl rolls because
Speaker 3: it was like the you remember this daft because you
Speaker 3: got to play this smart girl. The smart girl was
Speaker 3: always brunette that the less smart girl was always blonde,
Speaker 3: and I wanted to play smarts blonde. I dyed it
Speaker 3: your color daft, really and like blonde wasn't good on you,
Speaker 3: it was terrible on me, Like I looked like death
Speaker 3: warmed over. I had to wear a lipstick. I couldn't
Speaker 3: couldn't look at a natural look as it just completely
Speaker 3: washed me out. So when I got on Melrose, I
Speaker 3: spent six hours at the Stewart. Remember it was a
Speaker 3: favorite of same as colorists in Beverly Hills. They sent
Speaker 3: me to Stewart, somebody six seven, eight hours in the
Speaker 3: chair of process after process, and then it's still in
Speaker 3: the first few episodes of Melrose, and even in this one,
Speaker 3: I still have like a strawberry blonde tint. We don't
Speaker 3: have any actual red in my real hair.
Speaker 4: As long as it's not apricot, because that's not strawberry.
Speaker 4: That's entirely it was.
Speaker 3: You should It was like I had red and blonde
Speaker 3: and brown. It was very brassy.
Speaker 4: I wish I had to picture of that apricot too,
Speaker 4: just to prove it to you.
Speaker 2: It's like, I believe it weird. Our producer pull some
Speaker 2: really fun photos.
Speaker 1: We should find something. But now.
Speaker 3: The fancy actors all do wigs like they don't even
Speaker 3: think of cutting or chang.
Speaker 1: Smart actors wigs. Well, you have to be smart because you.
Speaker 3: Have to be fancy, because you have to be they
Speaker 3: have to be willing to pay for a real hair wig,
Speaker 3: otherwise they just look terrible. Like there's right, yeah, for sure,
Speaker 3: all right, we'll find some.
Speaker 4: Good pictures just to uh, oh my god. Yeah, just
Speaker 4: to prove that we're not making these stories up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the worst, the worst and best haircuts.
Speaker 6: Can we make it a competition.
Speaker 1: I'm just say hand, I think I wore wigs. We
Speaker 1: had to work.
Speaker 3: There was a show where, for some reason I kept
Speaker 3: I wore this black wig that was like cut with
Speaker 3: a severe short cut to here. It was actually very pretty.
Speaker 3: I really felt like a different character.
Speaker 5: I could see that on you. Was that for a show?
Speaker 3: It was for a show, but it was it was
Speaker 3: like it must have been a fantasy sequence in a show.
Speaker 1: Oh you know what it was, daf I played a
Speaker 1: serial killer casually just casually sees serial killers.
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a serial killer. And when she killed,
Speaker 3: she wore all black because I guess that's what they do.
Speaker 1: I had a killing costume and it was all black.
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, we'll find that picture too.
Speaker 1: Oh boy. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say that everyone who wears a
Speaker 3: wig is a murderous.
Speaker 1: But it's still seeing a real theme here. Lord, did
Speaker 1: you ever play a murderer?
Speaker 6: I think I probably.
Speaker 4: I think Sidney was definitely attempted murderer. I mean she
Speaker 4: attempted a lot of I mean there was nefarious happening
Speaker 4: in our very show that we're it was adjacent to
Speaker 4: a lot of that sort of nefarious stuff.
Speaker 2: But weren't you digging Richard's grave?
Speaker 5: You and Josie was.
Speaker 4: We were trying to bury him Richard? Yep, after you
Speaker 4: did in self defense. I think that was self defense.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call it like we so the.
Speaker 5: Very last episode.
Speaker 1: I love what you're saying. Yes, we killed somebody, but
Speaker 1: self defense.
Speaker 6: It was self defense and technically he didn't die.
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was a great one. I don't remember
Speaker 5: what season that was, but comes out of the grave.
Speaker 1: We're getting there.
Speaker 3: We're getting there. That was when was really fun, so exciting.
Speaker 3: All right, I think we should come onto our next
Speaker 3: recap wearing wigs.
Speaker 6: I have to go look through my boxes of photos.
Speaker 3: I've got wigs for the dogs, which apparently is weird.
Speaker 1: And my friends, how many wigs is too many dog
Speaker 1: wigs to have? You've done more than I have.
Speaker 3: I think now I have five, which that could objectively
Speaker 3: maybe be too many dogs. So if we did our
Speaker 3: next episode, put up a picture of Georgie had a dogwig.
Speaker 4: All right, Yeah, Georgie should participate in our competition. If
Speaker 4: we do our next episode and we all just show
Speaker 4: up wearing a wig, or you canna wear a dogwig
Speaker 4: or a person wig.
Speaker 5: I'm not wearing a wig.
Speaker 3: I don't have a person think about that and then
Speaker 3: be clear.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 2: An app on the zoom thing, and I'll just put
Speaker 2: on a wig like a little thing you can do online.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you, guys, I'll watch out. I might actually show
Speaker 4: up wearing wigs.
