AUDREY HEPBUN GREEN MANSIONS WIG

A dark brown wig custom made for Audrey Hepburn in Green Mansions (MGM, 1959). Hepburn plays a jungle girl who falls in love with a traveler played by Anthony Perkins under the direction of her then husband, Mel Ferrer. The wig is made of human hair and hand tied one strand of hair at a time into a lace mesh with silk bands in the interior to give the appearance of a scalp. Studio wigs at the time were custom made and fitted to measure by the star's head and hairline. An MGM label reads "824" with a corresponding MGM wig stock record card typed "824 Audrey Hepburn DK. Brown 17 Prod. #1734." The card also has notes of the wig being checked out 11-18-64 for production "St. Louis" for "M.Miller" and on 2/12/69 for production "Angel" for "Jen. Jones." The wig was acquired from MGM upon the closure of its hair and wig department. Accompanied by a canvas wig block and a copy of the film. Categories: Audrey Hepburn
