#BLONDEonNetflix #marilynmonroe #blonde
Netflix’s highly-anticipated Blonde documents the life of one of the most famous faces to ever grace the silver screen, but the real beauty of this film is the work behind the scenes. Hair Designer and Hair Department Head Jaime Leigh McIntosh and Makeup Artist, Makeup Department Head and Personal Makeup Artist to Ana de Armas, Tina Roesler Kerwin give us a look behind Marilyn’s most iconic looks, filming in her orphanage and home, and how intentional, subtle changes to Ana’s look could make or break the illusion of Marilyn.

Tina Roesler Kerwin
Makeup Artist
Coming from a creative family, Texas born Tina Roesler Kerwin has been a painter her entire life. While in college, a part time job at a department store's cosmetics area gave Tina a new, exciting way to use her painting skills, doing Make-up. She was hooked. Next she enrolled at schools such as Joe Blasco and Ben Nye and joined a Make-Up Agency in Dallas, Texas. Print, fashion and commercial work became her full time job. Tina worked with models, actors, sport stars, including the Texas Rangers, and even members of the political arena. Tina pursued incoming film productions including LEAP OF FAITH (Director: Richard Pearce; Steve Martin)
Before long, it was time for a new challenge. Tina relocated to California in 1994, worked her way up the ladder and was eventually offered the Department Head position of the iconic BOOGIE NIGHTS (Director: Paul Thomas Anderson; Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, John C. Reilly, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Burt Reynolds, William H. Macy, Phillip Baker Hall). That successful collaboration lead Thomas Anderson to invite Tina to Department Head his next movie MAGNOLIA (Starring: Tom Cruise, William H. Macy, John C. Reilly, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Jason Robards). The third joint effort with Paul Thomas Anderson was PUNCH DRUNK LOVE (Cast: Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Luis Guzman).
Since then Tina has been the Department Head on such films as MRS HARRIS (Director: Phyllis Nagy; Cast: Ellen Burstyn, Frances Fisher, Mary McDonnell, Philip Baker Hall, Cloris Leachman) which earn… Read More
Jaime Leigh McIntosh
Hair Department Head
Jaime Leigh McIntosh was born in Cambridge, New Zealand. From an early age already knew that she wanted to be a hairstylist. This was confirmed years later after watching Sarah Kelly's behind the scenes documentary Full Tilt Boogie, about the making of the 1998s film From Dusk to Dawn. Jaime Leigh instantly fell in love with the colorful world of filmmaking.
Her first steps were to gain the necessary skills. After 4 years of a hair salon apprenticeship she enrolled in the Design and Arts College in Christchurch, New Zealand, to study Makeup Design & Production as the New Zealand film industry requires stylists to be skilled in both Hair & Makeup.
After college was completed, Jaime Leigh was offered her first job on a TV series called Insider's Guide to Happiness. From this small production she was hired as a Hair and Makeup Artist for background actors on the feature film King Kong (Director: Peter Jackson) where she received invaluable wig training under the guide of Peter Swords King. Jaime Leigh was a fast and inquisitive learner, and she enjoyed the huge variety of work, the constant challenges, deadlines and demands of the job. Jaime Leigh rose to each occasion.
The next decade was filled with dedication to the craft, and Jaime Leigh's skill set grew. Projects of note included The Hobbit Trilogy (Director: Peter Jackson) and Avatar (Director: James Cameron), both under the guidance and teaching of Hair & Makeup Supervisor/Designer Rick Findlater.
In 2013 Jaime Leigh emigrated to Los Angeles, USA, and shortl… Read More
