The makeup and hairstyling team working behind the scenes of Netflix’s drama describes the complicated task of turning de Armas into the pop culture icon.

One of the greatest challenges for Kerwin was capturing off-hours Marilyn. “It was tricky because if I pulled the makeup back too far, then you either got young Norma Jean or you got Ana,” she says. “Once she had established that iconic look, there was only so far that I could pull it and still have it look like Marilyn.” That is where the wigs did some of the heavier lifting.

Kerwin describes the shoot as a moving train, and the tight schedule meant occasionally second-guessing what they were putting onscreen. “The scene where she’s singing ‘I Wanna Be Loved by You,’ we didn’t think we had it right,” she says. “It was one of those moments where if we had a little more time with it, we might have felt more comfortable with it, but we were just putting it together the best way we could — and then it got on camera and it looked incredible. It’s one of our favorites.

In fact, she started to help us by holding things. And when we put it all together, it helped her see herself as Marilyn.Cannavale came in with a head of hair similar to DiMaggio’s, and a tooth gap to boot. Kerwin worked on his sideburns, while McIntosh tamed the mane.

‘Willow’ Star Warwick Davis Took Inspiration from Mark Hamill’s ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ PerformanceThe actor, who was just 17 when he first played Willow Ufgood, took a page from Hamill: 'He just leaned into his more mature years.' Only 2 episodes in, but his performance so far had been awful. Mono-tone, with no emotion what-so-ever. Robotic. I really don’t know what happened, I love him as an actor, but this was hard to watch. Watch episode 2 again and take note of his performance. Hope it improves. MandyKilpatric4 Warwick Davis is so damn handsome!
