Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Head's iconic glasses were actually a prop—she adopted heavy-framed fakes to compete with male executives and later needed prescription lenses.
The Western Costume Company featured here would later file for bankruptcy in 2019, making this 2002 footage unexpectedly precious documentation.
