JESSICA LANGE: Great acting job, poor quality hair and makeup.


Well, I like the story, I loved Ed Harris, and I like Jessica Lange as an actress...However, I thought they could have done a better job on Jessica''s hair and makeup. Patsy Cline's teeth were a little mis-shaped, but did not take away from her beauty. Why did they put ugly teeth on Jessica Lange? Also, her hair...until near the end, she had the perm from hell. Why am I complaining about the look? Because instead of looking like a corn-fed, voluptuous women, Jessica looked skinny, toothy, and not unattractive, until the end when her character wore more make-up. Not her fault of course, because Jessica does have all these qualities! I blame the director. 😎

I always thought she was an odd choice for casting because of her looks. I don't mean that an actor has to look like the person she is playing but Jessica is too beautiful and glamorous such doesn't fit Patsy Cline.
