I wonder this quite a bit when we are booked to shoot a major porn star. The girl arrives and I'm thinking... "what the hell is so special about this girl?" But once the hair & makeup are done, it becomes very obvious. It's not always about the canvas that you have to work with, sometimes it's about the finished painting. Once the hair/makeup is applied, the girls become the character....and that's the character that people have fallen in love with.
Norma Jeane Baker was not much to look at.
But once she had her hair & makeup done, she magically transformed into Marilyn Monroe
