OK- here's the lowdown on the actresses' hair. For the first few episodes there was KLS in that dumb blond bubble cut wig, and Joan Bennett with the tarantula that was pasted on top of her head for nearly two years. (BTW, in an early interview Joan complained that she needed a new hairpiece!) I was so happy when Joan FINALLY let her hair down in 1969- it was far more becoming.
As for Grayson, the pre-'68 Julia had that lousy wig that Curtis & company forced on her unitl Norma Curtis told Dan that Grayson looked much better with her own hair- so, the famous April'68 "haircut" was the result! (And I hear that Norma's a redhead like Grayson!) I always prefered Grayson's own tresses, and she looked fabulous in the later 1970 episodes and in HODS with the soft, upsept look. To play Constance Collins in the 1680PT flashback (the Brutus story), hairstylist Edith Tilles added pieces to Grayson's hair for the elaborate 1680 'do Grayson had to wear. Lastly, Edith pulled off a masterpiece with the wig she chose for Grayson in NODS- a glamourous pageboy that accented her face perfectly!
Lara Parker wore pieces for various "past" storylines, and it's a shame that Clarice Blackburn never got a chance to show off her red hair on DS, all of her characters wore dark wigs!! Fortunately, she did get to wear her own hair in NODS...
Lisa Richards had beautiful long hair offscreen, but except for the flashback sequence where "Sabrina" witnessed Chris' transformation into the wolf, she was forced to wear short, dark wigs! Even for HODS they made her wear a wig as Daphne Budd!
By and large, the 60s was notorious for the out-of-control use of wigs by women in all fields, especially the entertainment field. The next time you see a vintage 1960s album cover by a pop diva like Dionne/Cher/Dusty/Aretha/Barbra/Petula and every lady who sang at Motown, take a good look at the hair- it's probably a wig! The DS ladies were merely caught up in a crazy trend ........
