Does Fonda wear a wig in this?


I'm terrible at spotting wigs, toupes, nosejobs, etc. I'm kind of niave that way.

In one review that came out when the film was released, it said Fonda wears a "big, frowsy blonde wig" as Alex. But in a few of the scenes, such as when Turner pulls her top over her head while they're kissing, a wig would seem impractical. Maybe they used a combination of a wig, and her real hair (bleached to match) in a few shots...such as when she gets out of the shower with wet hair? Or, maybe there's no wig at all.

Basically, I'm kind of curious as to how a viewer can tell the difference. Can everyone see this but me???

(One of the things I DO know is that a wig is usually very thick and full, whereas everyone's hair thins somewhat as they age. So if you see an older person with a huge head of hair...that MIGHT be a wig/toupe.)

They make thinner wigs ,and with lace fronts so that your hairline can show. But, seems easier for Fonda to just lighten her hair--she was blonde anyway usually. The brown hair looked like the wig. (It's only the poorly made/styled toupees that are too thick and full.)
