Members edgeofnik Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 I get if the other 3 soaps skimp on the wigs/wardrobe. But B&B? Sorry, a show about the fashion industry - that is high on style and production, but low on storytelling, has zero excuse. Everyone should look great - especially since every key character on that show is tied to money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted July 24, 2018 Members Share Posted July 24, 2018 That's exactly my issue with the show. I don't understand how the hell these characters are dressed. For some it makes sense, Emma and Xander for example are just interns. Even Sally isn't really rich. Everyone else has no reason to look like crap.

Members juppiter Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Stephanie B&B. I was happy for Susan Flannery when she made the decision to go natural. Anne Heche’s Marley wig on AW. Ugh it was just awful. We get it. We’re not stupid. Marley is the calmer sister. We don’t need a wig to remind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have no personal wig experience but to this day I don't get how Catherine Hickland's Jenny Markham wig worked? Jenny was blonder than Julie but she always wore her hair back so it was hard to tell how the wig was attached? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ruth Warrick went natural as Pheobe in the first year(s) of AMC. From then on it was wigs all the way! She wisely chose softer, more flattering colors as she aged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteelCity Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 I seem to remember some really bad wigs on Mimi (Farah Fath) during Reilly's destruction of Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted July 25, 2018 Members Share Posted July 25, 2018 Louise Sorel was wearing a ton of wigs her last two returns to DAYS. She never had great hair but as she aged it thinned out considerably so a good wig was necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scrapple Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 The late Ben Hendrickson (Hal , ATWT) went the wig route when his hair started thinning fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted July 26, 2018 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 John Forsythe's hair on Dynasty always looked fake. It would change the side it was parted on every other episode. Pamela Sue Martin's (Fallon) hair started to fall out and she had to wear wigs and pieces. Maxwell Caufield (Miles Colby) has wore a rug for years.

Members DaytimeFan Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 I always wondered if Jeanne Cooper wore wigs as Katherine on Y&R, particularly in the later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 Those definitely had to be wigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 The look of the texture of her hair changed sometime in the 1990’s. It still looks like her hair to my eyes through the Nina storyline and Rex’s death, but by the time her and Jill were fighting over the house it did seem different.

Members Paul Raven Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 In her later years I think Jeanne was wearing a wig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted July 26, 2018 Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 It wasn’t until Jeanne’s final scene on the show when I determined she was probably wearing wigs from the late 1990s onward. Jeanne had lost so much weight by that point and seemed so tired yet her hair looked the same and dwarfed her somewhat. My own grandmother styled herself very closely to Katherine Chancellor: bold clothes, tons of diamond jewelry right down to a diamond cluster ring not dissimilar from Katherine’s and seriously coiffed blond hair...though she denied watching it, despite casually saying “That goddamn Jill has been ruining her life for decades.” once while I had it playing at her penthouse...yes, she lived in a penthouse...pretentious as it sounds and my grandmother was older than Jeanne so I always wonder if Bill Bell met her at some point before he wrote Y&R (they died on the same day a few years apart - spooky timing or what?)
