A dark brown custom-made wig 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 "823" and a Max Factor Studios label is inscribed "M6967" with a corresponding MGM wig stock record card typed "823 Audrey Hepburn DK. Brown 17 Prod. #1734." 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:
