Maxie the Zombie


Just being real here. She looks like death and I don't know why. I cant be bothered to watch her scenes with a straight face. If this were a horror movie, then the makeup on her would do some justice. If she isn't well, she needs to resign. Anyone agree?

reply

yes...and I am not being mean putting down the actress.....they managed to put decent makeup on her for the wedding...why not keep using it????dark bangs and rest of her hair blonde...if she insists on keeping these colors,they should use a wig ( I would worry that they would get a bad one based on everthing else they have done)

the makeup people...their job is to make the actors look their best on camera.....maxies' scenes are distracting...takes you right out of the story,,,wondering what is wrong with the actress, worring is she going to be ok...

a few years ago she had I think fibroids, really bad and painful......she divorced her husband over a year ago...around that time she started having some sort of skin problem...they did many things..heavier and heavier makeup, weird shooting angles clothes and hair covering her face and skin...

she took a little time off....hope she will be ok

reply

Well if she's having all these issues she really needs to take a step back and let some one else fill her shoes for a while. And I mean a long while until she looks closer to her original self again. The actress looks terrible and even ghastly at times. I'm stunned to even see her like that and able to still do the part of Maxie. She should be embarrassed and consider resigning from the show if she can't get it together.

reply

This is entirely the fault of the makeup artist and hairstylist. It is their job to make each actor look their best, despite any illness or injury. That is what they get paid for. KS may not be in the financial position to be able to quit her job. Very few people are in that sort of position where they can just walk away from their steady income. And she is on contract so I don't even know if that is an option for her.

reply

There's only so much they could do. All they could do in this situation is to put a wig on her and pad her clothing.

reply

She could wear a latex Maxie mask.

When she took time off a few months ago she said she had to because of her "skin breakouts" I took that to mean acne... can she really not work if she has pimples? Really thinking about it, that just seems bizarre. People have pimples, and shouldn't a good makeup artist be able to cover it up? Perhaps that was just the "public excuse" she gave. But the more I watch her I'm starting to think makeup, hair and wardrobe are making her look sicker than she actually is. I don't know it seems like they are styling her with the purpose of "showing off" her sickness

reply

Stress, illness, some medications, ect. can cause breakouts and make them worse. The announcement was vague but it's up to her if she wants to go into more detail or not.

reply

Yeah I think she said it was stress related or something? But pimples are like normal, why is it an issue if she has some pimples? And I feel like a good make up artist should have been able to cover it up. Like that girl on YouTube who had horrible horrible acne and covers it up completely, you can't tell at all and I don't even think she's a professional. Her username used to be like diamondsandheels or something but now she goes by her name but I can't remember, her last name is like banks or bankson or something like that I think

reply

This is the girl I was talking about https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLuuOE9m6TCaH5bgDHQFwd2jM9SsDHMwAM&v=ex33wtqnNz8

Maybe gh should hire her exclusively to do Maxie's makeup

reply

I remember Kirsten from her years on Days of Our Lives and I just can't believe this is the same person. She looks anorexic. I haven't posted anything about it because some people don't want to read anything critical of her, but I've wondered why there aren't more posts about it. I was starting to wonder if it's only me who feels there's something very wrong. It's difficult to watch her scenes. I can't imagine how the other actor/actresses are dealing with looking at her during scenes with them. There is obviously something very wrong and it's happened right before our eyes.

reply

there have been several threads about her illness/skin issues/

the other one also around now is titled maxies' hair...it has been discussed

this is just in the last 40 days...sure there are more if I went back further

reply

Yesterday, she looked especially bad. I don't know what is going on with her but something clearly is. Way too thin too.

reply

Now it's the opposite, she has gained a lot if weight over the past few years. Some reports stated it was her medicine for her mental heath issues. I wish her the best.

reply

If she isn't well, she needs to resign. Anyone agree?


No. Even actors are allowed to be ill. Hopefully she is under a doctor's care if she is ill and hopefully she has a support system. I don't think she needs to quit her job-- unless she decides that's what needs to be done.

reply

I agree. She shouldn't have to worry about her job on top of her personal issues, whatever they may be.

reply

I was hoping this was on purpose for some upcoming storyline. When Nina got in her face three episodes ago before they agreed not to talk about the Valentin situation, I thought she was going to ask Maxie if she as okay because she did look like crap.

Some fashion queen she is.

Little Mikey Myers that lived across the street.

Bad hairstyle and color aside, there's something unhealthy going on with her hair. It's completely dried out and brittle. If I were part of the staff putting her together, I would put her in a full blonde wig. I'd use more natural tones for makeup and I'd dress her in colorful clothes. Dressing her in an all white turtle neck only emphasizes her paleness and thinness. And believe me when I tell you I am not a fashionista--but I could do a better job than her current stylist. Which is scary.

reply

Yea and that was why I gave this thread the appropriate title of zombie. I have nothing against her. I used to find her amusing and delightful to watch back in the day. But it seems like eons ago since Maxie looked like MAXIE!
