A dark brown wig custom made for Cyd Charisse in Brigadoon (MGM, 1954). The wig is made of human hair and hand tied one strand of hair at a time to 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 "749" with a corresponding MGM wig stock record card typed "749 Cyd Charisse dk. brown 3/4 fall prod. #1645." Sydney Guilaroff was the hair stylist on this film. 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: Cyd Charisse
