Wig?


Does anyone know if Essie Davis wears a wig as Phryne? I'm just intrigued because her hair texture looked so different in The Babadook.

I remember reading an article about Essie Davis letting them dye and cut her hair, her own was so thick that it wouldn't fit under a wig.
But, sometimes it looks so perfect it's hard to believe it is her real hair.
She's beautiful as a brunette, but also as herself, a blonde.

She's always perfectly gorgeous. Period :)

I think she's naturally a brunette, though not as dark as in this mystery series. At least going by her page here on imdb, where there are various photos of her.

I think her hair was bleached for Babadook, which accounts for the different hair texture: it was damaged.

Whatever her natural hair color is, she looks gorgeous with that hair. I'm tempted to get that haircut, but it wouldn't look like that on my face!

I am SO tempted to get the same hair style too but I have to repeatedly reign myself in b/c that cut would look terrible on me.

I was actually hoping Essie's hair on MFMM was a wig so I could find out where they got it (and buy it too).

I've seen her do an interview with that hair (I think I posted a link here somewhere) so presumably it is her actual hair.
