| Reflections / Significant Moments | Director Ron Link who was bunking with me (between apartments) decided I should be blonde for this production. I insisted I wanted to see first if I liked it. So Ron, a friend Bob Heide and I went to the only 24-hour drugstore in Manhattan at that time (at 50th & Lex) and bought a rinse, or so they claimed. I could wash it out if I didn't like it. They lied. Back at my apartment, they washed my hair with the "rinse" and when I looked, it was a weird orange color. They admitted they had bleached my hair and now had to add the blonde toner. I was furious at the deception, but when they finished, I actually liked it very much. I stayed a blonde for almost 2 years, until I noticed my hair was getting thinner. It has never grown back to the thickness it was before bleaching. | ||||||
