Angela Bassett on Kelly & Ryan

Icegoddess — Thu, 12 Mar 2020 14:35:44 GMT

Just saw Angela Bassett on Live with Kelly & Ryan. She had a gorgeous head of shoulder length curly hair which made me wonder if that was a wig. I figure what she wears on 911 is a wig, but I can't imagine getting all that hair under that short wig. She's getting a wax figure made. They mentiioned 911's return on March 18 I think. Thank goodness. Not sure where they are moving the Lone Star version, but I won't be watching it wherever it goes.

The curly hair was a weave.

@deeva does she have the weave removed to wear the 911 wig? I don't know how time-intensive removing and replacing something like that might be. Or, would she remove it for the entire season of taping and then put it back in. Is a weave similar to extensions or something completely different? Sorry, I'm not up on all these different techniques.

She is such a fabulous actress! She deserved an Oscar for her portrayal of Tina Turner....I love her hair super short, she has such a pretty face and she is tiny, so I like how short hair looks on her.......

Yes

How can you tell if that was a weave?? Wigs today are almost undetectable, especially ones with lace front construction and scalp details.

ITA about her portrayal of Tina Turner. She was brilliant! She is such an amazing actor and always looks wonderful.

Icegoddess - as to the two different 911 shows, I think what they are doing is having one season of each show at a time. That didn't sound right - one season of Lone Star, then a season of the other one, etc. That's my take anyway, FWIW.

@chickenbutt . I love the original, haven't watched the newer one though. Is it any good?

@SilleeMee is a weave the same thing as a wig? Or as easily removed and replaced as a wig? I thought it was a rather time-consuming process of adding in hair like extensions can be (not the clip-ins).

I like it. It's very similar but with very different characters. Rob Lowe is the lead, so I have no complaints there. You also have Liv Tyler who plays an EMT. It takes place in a different location (Austin, TX) but the Lowe character came from NY, having survived the 911 attacks as a firefighter. He takes over this TX station after it had some sort of attack of its own and I apologize that my memory has lost most of the details.

I really like both of the 911 shows and hope they both continue.

@Icegoddess

Weaves have to be attached (microbraided or glued into your own locks) to existing hair on your head. There has to be enough of your own hair to make that possible.

@SilleeMee thanks. That sounds really damaging especially if you remove and replace them often.

It is damaging @Icegoddess . I had a weave put in a long time ago and it made my hair break off close to the scalp...never again.

Personally, I didn't care for it. I only watched the first episode. I don't want to be preached to about diversity by my entertainment. I don't mind a little diversity; I enjoy the original 911, but they throw the entire alphabet along with different religions into one Fire Station, in Austin TX no less. I presume the location was chosen to highlight the lack of acceptance. I just can't imagine that much diversity being thrown together in such a work situation in Austin.

Today, she is on the Tamron Hall show and her hair is styled completely different. More tslightly wavy. I don't think it flatters her as much as the short do on 911 or even the curly hair she had the other day on the Kelly & Ryan show.
