Dear Nurse Ansalong:

I know it may sound like a stupid or pointless question but which RHPS actors wear a wig and which use their real hair during the film? It's been buggin' me for a while (But am I the only one who thinks it would be a real gas if that was Tim Curry's own hair...okay, just me then.)

Delilah, other than Meat Loaf, who wore a wig over his long hair, all of the performers are using their own hair for the movie. Check out some of the photos taken around that time and they'll show you that everyone was using their naturals. A funny little side story... Richard O'Brien has always said that he doesn't understand why Meat Loaf went with the wig over his natural hair which Mr. O'Brien liked better. Either way, everyone else is totally natural, except for whatever dyes, sprays, and other chemicals have been placed on their heads.
