Umberto Giannini’s artistic director Paul Gooch won a BAFTA for his work on Alice and Wonderland in the hair and make-up category. He has some great tips for achieving the red carpet looks and has worked with many celebrities over the past years.

Notes from Paul Gooch:

“As the hair designer on Alice in Wonderland it is my role to create the look for each and every actor. It is a collaborative process between the individual actors, the director and myself. I work closely with the costume designer since, what an actor is wearing influences how I will do their hair and makeup. On a film like ‘Alice’ period accuracy is important. The opening and closing sequences of the film being set in 1865.

I’m excited to share with you my interview with Amy Bailey who has begun to make her mark within Hollywood’s demanding movie stars. Amy can be seen in the star-studded movie, “Nine” along side Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, and Kate Hudson. Up next for the actress, she will be playing the Hatteress in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland.”

In this interview Amy Bailey tells Marta Walsh about how it all began for her in Hollywood. Her role in the film “Nine” and what was it like working with its director Rob Marshall. How one day she took Penelope Cruz and her sister to see the Royal Ballet perform. Her latest acting role in  “Alice in Wonderland”, also staring in this film Johnny Depp. Future plans, and of course, style and beauty secrets!

Marta Walsh: Where did you grow up and where is home for you?
Amy Baliey: I grew up in a coastal town called Corpus Christi, in South Texas. I loved going to the beach right after school. Now I divide my time between London and L.A.

MW: How did you decide on a career in showbiz, and what were some of your first breaks?
AB: I was a professional ballerina by 17yrs old, so I guess being onstage always felt pretty natural. My parents couldn’t believe that as a teenager I would skip out parties because I had ballet class the next morning. It kept me out of trouble, for the most part 🙂
