How a $10,000 wig helps save this TV programme money...

About a year ago, I discovered the addictive TV series that is 'The Good Wife'; an engaging blend of American politics and law, following Alicia Florrick as she is forced to re-enter the world of work, juggling being a lawyer with family life and a politician husband in prison! I could NOT stop watching it and was uber overexcited to find they'd added Season Five to Netflix about three weeks ago! I devoured it and then to my delight discovered they're showing Series Six on TV at the moment! Cue record!

Core character Alicia Florrick is played by Actor Julianna Margulies' who I must say sports the classiest, most gorgeous hairstyles ever! She's like the Princess Kate of the legal world and I've often envied her perfectly coiffed tresses!

Anyway, a few days ago, during an interview on CBS on The Late Show with David Letterman, Julianna revealed that her luscious locks are in fact a wig... a $10,000 wig! Not only that, but she has more than one of them, changing her style each season and keeping the others 'on file' for flashbacks. Her natural hair is more naturally curly and the Directors wanted to achieve, sleeker, more refined look.

The wig is beautiful, human hair and clearly has a lace front to keep the hairline as natural as possible. In fact, each one is perfectly measured and created for her by hand, For £10,000 it should be! Apparently, this investment does save the show thousands of dollars each series in hairstylist time, but it's still pretty bonkers!

In the interview, she does have some odd opinions on 'cheap' wigs - by that we presume she means anything up to $9,999  - but it's pretty funny! We've added it to the TV / Documentaries playlist on our Youtube channel or you can watch it here...
