In response to the post I wrote on Marjorie Woodworth http://www.maybellinebook.com/2012/08/sexy-glamor-shot-of-maybelline-model.html Alicia Dufour writes about what she has learned from Miss Woodworth’s Hollywood career.
I am an actress, model and singer/songwriter. I am also a professional belly dancer and vintage pin up model. I have been performing on stage for over 20 years and recently filmed my second movie. I was honored to bring life to deputy Karen Harper for the Lunatopia/Baylor Film production of Vertical (starring Marshall Bell, Irene Bedard, Elsie Kate Fisher and Wolfgang Bodison, with director Stephen Savage). I am just at the precipice of what I hope to be a long and fulfilling career. I have learned the value of having a great makeup artist, and how important makeup and beauty are in my industry.
I grew up watching my mother wear Maybelline products and always associated Maybelline with what was beautiful and with glamour. And now as an adult, I have a makeup kit worth well over $800 (in addition to my rather large collection of makeup that I use for daily wear) and have used makeup to make me both beautiful and glamorous… as well as frightening. And Maybelline has always been a staple in my house and my career.
In an industry so driven by looks and beauty, I’ve already learned that I need to enjoy each moment because I never know how long I will have to enjoy it! For all of the hard work that every actor, musician, producer, director, cinematographer and photographer (atc) does, we need to remember to fully embrace each and every moment we get to do what we love.
I remember a story I heard once about another couple of beauties: Julia Roberts and Dolly Parton. While filming Steel Magnolias, Julia commented to Dolly regarding how cool she kept in the sweltering heat. Dolly’s response was simply that she was doing the one thing she had always wanted to do, so what was there to complain about? I love this. I know the road ahead of me is long. But every ‘no’ I get is one step closer to the next ‘yes’ and the next opportunity to bring life to some new character. And to me there is nothing more beautiful than that.
