Jennifer Grey is nearly unrecognizable embodying Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin Lara in a new Lifetime movie. The actor says her"outrageous" look is meant to send a sobering message about eating disorders.
Grey says the first wig that she wears as Lara is the same blond hair as Jamie Lee Curtis donned in 1978's"Halloween," just"fixed up." The second wig was made from scratch, hair-by-hair, and then altered depending on the scene.Lifetime via YouTube In her eyes, Grey believes Lara likely had good intentions when starting a nutrition program that encouraged members to turn to God in an effort to lose weight. She says that Lara"really wanted people to feel better about themselves" through weight loss, but took an extreme approach.
Though her take on weight loss and developing a closer relationship to God relied on especially harsh disciplinary tactics, people listened to Lara because she was"charismatic" and"upbeat," Grey says.
