We found out who is and who isn’t in the cueball league after a secret closeting with Fred Fredericks, head of the wig department at Max Factor, the world's largest hair-raiser. They Kid ‘About It In the old days, stars who wore false fuzz would sooner face the firing squad than let their doting public.find out about it. “It was Harder to get inside this wig factory than to get the secret of the atomic bomb,” said Mr. Fredericks, who doesn't wear a toupee and looks like he oughta be a movie star himself, Then some topknot-less gents, whose first or last names strangely began with B, for bald, figured toupees weren't wrose than shoulder pads and began kidding themselves about it in public.

“We have one non-acting custoner,” recalled Mr. Fredericks, “who as several of -toupees. Jousled, for sportswear and slick for avening."” Stars like Betty Grable, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball, whose parts :all for fancy hair-dos, rely on false auffs, pompadours and page boy rolls, Jeanette MacDonald never appears on celluloid with her own hair, Even the baby curls of Shirley Temple and Mary Pickford weren't the real McCoy. “It would ruin their own hair to have it fixed like that every day, and also they don't like to wear it that long off the screen,” Mr. Fredericks explained.. “Besides, very few humans in the world have enough hair to look that thick on film.” The hardest wigs Mr. Fredericks has made were for Norma Shearer in “Marie Antoinette.” It took him a year and a half. Factors made 8900 wigs for that movie which was a record until “Forever Amber.” Fox paid $100,000 for 15,000 wigs for “ Amber. ”n Other hard jobs were making a lion's head for Bert Lahr in “The Wizard of Os” and, a nearly bald crony’s wig for Agnes Morehead in “The Lost Love.”
