Hell on Wheels - Q&A with Gail Kennedy (Makeup Supervisor)

Share on Reddit

Gail Kennedy is the Makeup Supervisor for AMC's Hell on Wheels. In this interview with AMCtv.com, she talks about how she created Lily's arrow wound and realistic-looking blood.
Q: How do you balance authentic grime with making the actors look good?
A: You can create grime in such a way that it actually adds character to the face; it's all in the placement and angle. Depending on who I'm putting the dirt on, we use a different placement and angle and we use different products to portray the lack of bathing that was inherent at the time. And, actually, the actors love looking as grimy as possible. Sometimes it's hard to convince them to look good.
