‘GLOW’ star Geena Davis recently talked with Entertainment Weekly about her big costume change in season 3 that she described as ‘achieving her dream’.
Davis said the moment her character walks onstage in her white and gold costume is one she’ll never forget. “I said to them right in the beginning when I found out she was a former showgirl, ‘Please find some way to get me in a showgirl costume!’” Check out some highlights from her interview below.
What it was like to pick out that costume:
The fitting was fabulous. They had racks of one after another of incredibly outrageous showgirl costumes and I got to try them all on. The funny thing was that the headpieces were so tall in this costume room that I had to kneel down to try them all on. I didn’t get to look at myself in a mirror standing up in that costume which is funny, so I look forward to seeing the show to finally see how I look.
On how many people it took to get the head piece on:
The big part of it was actually sitting on my shoulders. It was a giant fan that had a brace over my shoulders. It took a few people to help get me into it. It was just so heavy and unwieldy because it was so big.
On her feelings after walking onto the stage with the costume on:
The people that were hired to be the crowd other than the core cast, everyone in the audience at this club was not told that I was there or anything about the scene. It was really fun and I was really looking forward to the girls seeing me in that costume and it was amazing. I loved that surprise element and that they were able to catch a real reaction on film.
