When watching Full House, did you ever feel inclined to copy one of the characters' hairstyles? Well, that's thanks to the incredible team of stylists who worked on the show! Today, we have Frankie Bergman joining us on the podcast. She was the department head stylist on Full House, helping to create those iconic looks from 1989 to 1995!
Frankie's career is expansive (to say the least), so it's an honor to hear how highly she speaks of Full House. Andrea and Jodie are so fond of her after spending so much time together all those years, so this is a reunion you simply can't miss. It's all here on How Rude, Tanneritos!

it's you know, something will happen.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Just wait. Oh I said that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
With so much sarcasm because I'm already like wait, it
feels like I've been gone forever. I just got back
from Italy, which was an amazing trip.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yes, super fun. Yeah, so it was are you jet
lagged still? Are you sleep? I don't even know what
I'm I'm sort of back to where I was.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's kind of like, remember when we came back from Japan. Oh, yes,
so going that direction, like heading east.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is worse. So remember when we got to.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Japan, everyone was like, yeah, the jet leg's not that bad.
I actually feel okay, And I was like, no, this
is great. And then coming home everyone was like I
don't think I'm a human being anymore. So I had
that feeling when we got there. Okay, a bit of
a wreck, yeah, a bit of a wreck. I didn't
know like what I was like, I don't know if
(01:25):
I want to eat or sleep or walk around or
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So well, at least they have good espresso, so that
could Oh my god, give you a perk.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Let me tell you, I'm so sad that every six
feet that I walk in Los Angeles there's not an
espresso bar. And by espresso bar, you guys, I didn't
see one chain coffee place.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It was heaven truly.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And it was like you just walk, you know, have
a few halfway down the block and there would be
there'd be another little coffee bar and you and you
stand there. It's you can get a coffee to go,
but but you just they give you a little a
little cup and you stand at the bar and like dolls,
espresso the little espresso cup.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And it's perfect. And I was like, okay, I can
do that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Like every ninety minutes or so, I just stopped to
refuel with some caffeine amidst walking around so much incredible
art and history. I was trying not to be a
total dorky tourist, but I absolutely was.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So it was great, Oh, what was your favorite city
that you visited?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Because you went to some We went to several. We
went to Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We were out in like kind of the Tuscan countryside
in we stayed in a little place called Montebinice and
UH and Bussine. I think that's how you say it.
Please forgive me Italians if I am murdering the names
of these wonderful cities. Anyway, I yeah, it just uh,
(03:02):
I just realized something I saw. I thought we were
going right into things, and I was like, wait.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, well the movies just started chatting, so like, let's
use it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The best part is is I was like, watch how
great this is gonna go? And I forgot what we
were doing in the moment we were doing it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Three and a half minutes ago. We were like, we're
so on top of things. This is great, and I
was like, no, something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's amazing that while not being on top of things,
I was like, we're so on top of things.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's that's a new level. That's a new level.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Usually I at least know when things have gone off.
The thround, I had no idea. I was like, wait
a minute, you know that's okay. It's to answer your question, yes,
I'm quite jet lagged. Yeah I don't. I don't think
I well as I thought I had.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you need an espresso in a nap but we're
power but I don't know in which order, you know, Like,
I don't I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I don't know what I need. I was curled up
like an armadillo yesterday. I was just like, I don't
do well with transitions going from vacation back to real life.
It's yeah, oh it's tough. Yeah, that's a hard reality check.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It is, uh and a decidedly less caffeinated one.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So yeah, but how have you been? Maybe the last
couple of weeks been still not doing the intros. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, at this point, it doesn't matter. At this point,
it doesn't matter.

of them are still around and coming back.

Speaker 5 (08:36):
My kids of fifty four fifty two.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh my gosh, Frankie, have you seen Full House since
it aired originally?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Have you gone back to watch this?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Okay of the episodes, Yes, Okay, he doesn't bring back
a lot of memories.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
To watch it now. But I bump into people and
they when they say, what have you done? You know,
I did so much and so many features and things
things like that. But I have to say, the one
thing that I always comment and enjoyed. I think one
of the best was Full House to do. It was
(09:11):
there were a lot of memories and a lot of
fun things, particularly when we all went to Orlando, you know,
or Land, Yeah, Disney and you know everybody got lost
in things.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You know, it was ohne, Yeah, when I got lost
in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
There is there is that time. Remember when I got
lasted at the air I got in Vegas? Yeah, as
a child. I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
You were really young, both of you. Yeah, But I
have to say I'm not saying in front of everybody,
you too always came in happy. I don't remember, you know.
I was trying to think back of incidents I could
bring up or say about you too. You Andrew always
came in, was there a smile, And I don't remember
(10:01):
ever you coming in and being miserable or I'm happy
or having a problem. You were always a happy person.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was, And I don't remember ever being.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You came in and you just did you think we
were laughing and happy too?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean I think we were everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, we were also really enjoying ourselves as kids and
everyone all of the adults around us, you know, cast
and crew, you know our hair makeup order.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Everybody likes all loved.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Being around us and took care of us, and it
was Yeah, it definitely was a family.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, it definitely was. But it's funny because a lot
of the hairdoos that were work that we did when
when back then are sort of coming back into fashion
and even have rolled into fashion different things again.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Right, I cannot hear anyone say half and half without
thinking of a half half down. Yeah yeah, not the creamer,
but half and half, like like that was sort of
the cost, Like there's just just do a half and
a half where you pulled half of your hair up
in a scrunchyet and well.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I always got I always got told off by camera
if I had any hair around your faces, right right, No,
it was like I'm shadowing you and your faces. So
the half and half worked a lot for me.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean Candace's bangs. We watched the last
episode that we watched that we're gonna review later on today.
I was like, the bangs have grown. They were definitely
like they were getting They were less teased than the
eighties moment, but they were like.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Uh, it was more bang. I feel like it was
more bang for your Bucky. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
It's not more set looking than they do now.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Right right, it looked like we were wearing wigs then,
in fact we are now, but there's more than our
hair did then.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, weirdly enough, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You know why I love We had to get it
in a certain look because sometimes you had to go
back to a scene right to match right, So you
had to don't have a set thing.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You couldn't have all those polaroid continuity pictures, those pictures yeaheah, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Would have to take a picture of us at every angle,
to the back of the hair, of the front side.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you can imagine in the days before iPhone photos,
this is we there were physical polaroids and you had
big rings of them for every episode and the rings
for the rings.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, I have something to show you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh, oh that I have kept. Oh it's a script.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's one of our scripts script the last script A
full house.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Oh, and Andrea, you have said lovely things about me. Jody,
you've said wonderful things about me. I mean one always
does when you're writing to somebody, regardless what you think
you know. But now I had it at my desk.
I've had it all this and let me tell you,
it's the only script that I ever kept from anything.
(13:21):
So that sort of tells you something about how it
was on the show with everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You're so meaningful. Yeah, it was a meaningful experience for
all of us.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If you want to hear something else very strange today,
please if you remember my daughter Stacy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she came and she helped out something. Yeah, she's doing
stay Moss today.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
What no way?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, yeah, incredible something that she's working on today. And
she sent me the cruelest And there was John to
day and I said, wow, now is that weird?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That is so uncanny? Yeah, did you give your tips
on how to cough that?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That iconic?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He's a little particular.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He was. I don't know if he is now more so.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah, it just gets it gets everybody, haven't you.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yes, Oh my gosh, we yeah, we never stopped hanging out,
like even just all growing up and throughout each other's lives.
It's we've been just really really close.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Unusual, that is, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
What we're hearing. It's unusual for us.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's like, of course, of course we stayed in touch,
it's natural, but we're hearing its not like that on
every on every show, so we feel very fortunate.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
For sure. It is Frankie.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
We have loved interviewing people from behind the scenes on
the show because we get to hear about all of
the things we never knew, like your origin story, like
how did you start uh going into hairstyling and into
the entertainment business, Like what was what prompted you to
want to do that?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, if you want to know when I you know,
I grew up in London and I went to stage
school in London, and I was on the same side
of it as you, doing films, television and acting and
singing and dancing.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
And as I got older, my mother decided that she
wanted me to have another career to fall that you
could always fall back on, and she was a studio hairstylist,
so I learned that and then gradually I changed over
to it, you know. And then when I moved to America, America,
(15:43):
I was doing stage shows and things and television and
just it was just natural thing for me to get into.
And I think what helped me was because I was
like a child actress and I'd done so much. I
knew your feelings. I knew how you would be on
(16:04):
that side of it because I lived. I lived it,
yeah a little girl.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's that's really important, so that you know, yeah, especially
as teenagers. Once we became teenagers on the show and
felt so self conscious, you know, about everything in life,
everything that was going on, the changes in us.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, I know that's somebody.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Because when I was young, I used to work for
a company called Marks and Spencers.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah and Spencers.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
They used to do knitting things then, you know, so
and I used to do their patterns and because I
was growing, they used to put bandages around me around
my chest. Oh right, so you know, because so you know,
I know all these conscious things that you start to
feel as a teenager growing up.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So when you're growing up in like in front of
people and having to sort of weirdly be this.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's not that it's not. It's not that easy, and
it went out. You can't sometimes pay yourself to enjoy
because you you know, certain people are recognizing you, particularly
when I think television more so when you're on a
series television, people know you all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, we grew up in their living rooms basically,
you know, eight years of our childhood. And yeah, it's
like we grew up with everywhere. That's what people say
to us. We feel like we grew up with you.
We grew up with the Tanners. It was like a
surrogate family.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's a very just fly to do features. Actually we
were here and I worked a lot with Jaminie Curtis
Oh okay stuff and I did. In fact, I'm known
as the horror Queen of hair. So it's my time
of year because I don't Yes, this is my Monthea.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I am with you on that.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
But I didn't really want to do TV. But when
I did do the odd thing and then I came
onto a full house, it was like, wow, this is
I get some life when I do a TV show.
So yeah, yeah. The sitcom was originally were shooting over
(18:11):
my side of the town and then it moved, which
is like ten minutes from my house. And then you
moved to the valley. You know, it's at the time
they were younger, not that young, but they were living
at home still, you know, so, but when it went
moved to the valley. But it was fine. I mean
(18:31):
I loved it. I looked forward to going to work always. Always.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
It was a special set, you know, it was really
there was something magical about that set and those those people,
and yeah, this has just been a blast to get
to reconnect with everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
What was it like had you worked on like show
movies and stuff with a lot of kids before. I
mean our set was quite kid and family heavy as
compared to a lot of TV shows at the time,
and the kids were really the.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Sign fails anything. But you know, older got it well.
I mean there has been a child on it, right,
but nothing like Full House. I mean I don't think
you bot many shows that had all children on it.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I think full House was a pioneer in that sense.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
What was you need? Yeah, and everybody you bumped into
their children just loved Full House. That was the only
one that they, you know, really clamored to because they
could associate with it.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think a lot of shows, the kids were just
like furniture in the background. Like, the storylines weren't about
the kids. They were just sort of there. But Full
House really zoned in. It figured out early on that hey,
this is a family show. It's not just about the adults, right.
Kids really really drove the storylines for all eight seasons,
and that's what made it different.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, who was easier to work with the adults on
the show or the kids on the show.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, she has to think about it.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It was pretty I mean for me, yeah, I found
it all pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, the ads probably had a very different prima donnas.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
None of you were prima donnas. Was It just became
so natural, didn't it. I mean it was natural. You
just wanted in the makeup room, you wanted out you
you know, it was just.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
There was nobody on the set that like you were ever.
Nobody was worried about approaching or like oh okay, you know,
there was never that vibe of anybody.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
And I have to say, oh, you girls were great because,
like a lot of children, you do that hair and
then all of a sudden they go all right, right,
oh this is horrible, and they go out and trying
they get to the set, the hair looks My god,
did I do that? You know?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
We were when we did Fuller.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We worked with the kids and saw it and we
were like, oh, yes, you actually can't rub your head
on the sofa like that.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
It would.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
We were all so easy. I don't remember either of
you saying, oh I hate this, Can you change it?
Can you do something else? You sort of left it
to me to do what was what was.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
To the day.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, you know, I will say though, I do
remember like there were times maybe with wardrobe, probably as
I got a little older, and maybe I'm sure you
can attest to this to where it was like maybe
something that I did I was like not loving it
or whatever. But I never, like I really learned how
to be able to say to adults at that point
(21:56):
in my life, I don't know that I love this,
or like maybe let's try this, because everyone around us
was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Great, like nobody ever.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, well, but nobody ever didn't listen to us because
we were kids, and that really helped, Like growing up,
I learned how to be able to say, like, you
know what, actually like maybe this or the like I
just can't explain as a kid what it feels like
to have people really listen to you and not feel like,
(22:30):
you know, they're telling you what to do.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And I never felt like that with any of the adults.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I don't remember you, Jody ever sitting in my chair
and saying I don't like what I'm wearing and I
don't like how my hand looks. Yeah, no, I don't
think that ever. In all the years came up.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it was always like if the and I knew
like it would start in Wardrop, if there was ever
even just the little hint of like.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Roberta and Gina would be like.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Not next they learned to like read us, you know,
and and what they knew, they knew our tastes, and
they knew well maybe not in a in Abi's case.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I mean, there was a whole different stratosphere.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Kimmy's Kimmy's wardrobe was definitely not
your taste.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No, but I think they tried to.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
You know, that was the character though.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
It was right. Oh yes, but you had it well.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
You handled it well. I say, you always came in happy.
I mean your clothes were pretty happy.
Speaker 3 (23:37):

Remember Bobby Ostroman. Yes, so Bobby phoned me and pulled
me in and that was how I came on it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
But Bob Osterman was our head of he was ahead
of our makeup department, right, yeah, and he worked on
the show.

What you know those you know.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Those the things that those that guys would have, like
the long rat tail, like the bra braid in like
the in the eighties, or if you blocked that out too.
It's pretty horrific.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
It's just like I don't remember anybody that had it.

We've been doing the season one though, So that's why
you weren't there.

Speaker 5 (26:34):
They since worked with them, actually with a Back to
the Beach movie. Yeah, yeah, that was fun. But but
but no, sometimes you did the character things. I remember
one year though, we were all there and it's appropriate
(26:55):
for now, because it was Halloween and all your cared
just wanted to get out and go to Halloween, right,
and somehow we weren't getting out. It was getting so
late and I think it was like seven something. Yeah,
already it was seven something before you guys, before we
(27:19):
were all released to go. That was that was closer
to the end of it than the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah. Yeah, that's prime tricker treating time.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, that was the only time I saw everybody a
little bit down, you know, because we all thought they
all thought, oh thanks son, We all thought that it
was going to be I'm losing my boy.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
There were definitely those things, like working with a lot
of kids that you you know, that you you sort
of take for granted, like Halloween or things like that.
You're like, oh what I but you know, You've got
a set full of kids who are like, but I'm
but I'm I'm going trigger treating right Like I'm not.
I'm still I'm still doing that, and everyone's like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(28:05):
oh okay, you know, and if it falls on a
Thursday or a tape day, it's like, yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Only time everybody was I was miserable. I don't want
to be there either. That was the only time, right.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Well, and it's heart too.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
You really had favorite Do you remember a favorite look
that I did on you?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh yeah, I was just going to ask you that
same question, So favorite look?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
What was your favorite look?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I'm trying to remember. Okay, So we are in season three.
So my hair is kind of curly. There's a lot
of scrunchies, a lot of ponytails, and then it went straight.
In the later seasons it got really long. And really
I was so excited to have straight hair because I
got it straightened to that like caroteene treatment.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
So I was very excited to find because my hair
is naturally wavy, it doesn't it's not naturally straight, and
so I was very excited to finally get it straightened professionally.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
As you're watching the show, there's something. I mean, I
know you were little then, but do you is there
anything you would say, I like my hair looking that
style that was a good look for me. Is there
anything you can think of that you like personally? I mean,
I know things I liked as I did them, obviously,
but for you girls, what did you like?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I think I also liked when my hair was straighter,
just because my hair is naturally straight, so to get
it curly involved you know, sponge rollers the first couple seasons,
and then the little hot worm roller things that just
slowly ripped out your baby hairs when you took those
out of your head after seven hours.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So yeah, it was a lot of.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like maintenance, and then the perming which turned my hair
to straw.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, it just my poor hair to stay that like
Stephanie curly.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
And also fashion change. Yeah yeah, it was much more
like the mind and easier.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I remember you they.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
And those little bhoteros, the big one.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The little sponge rollers.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, my mom my mom and a sponge roller in
a jar of dippity do hair gel every night, just
in those little papers. I can still hear those like
little hair rolling papers. They're almost like cigarette rolling papers.
I can hear those and it's like a yeah, but yeah,
(30:25):
I uh it's it was a lot to get my
hair there, so I think, yeah, the straight ones.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But did you do did you do the episode where?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And I think you did because I think it's coming
up in like season four ish the dream sequence episode
where I had the big blue like feathered dress the
Sheese dancing, you know, and everyone was in the tuxedos
and that I loved that hair tee.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
That was Yeah, that look I loved. That was the
only look when I had to take it off.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It was like a relaxed look, like a well, no,
I think I there was.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
We had it like up in. It was a very
like kind of forties like thing.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh I loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, Probably the time, I hated it because it required
a lot of hair spray. But like now looking back
on him, like that looked great.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I remember having to wear that wig. There was an
episode where DJ and maybe Stephanie was giving Kimmy a
makeover and so and Kimmy ends up having like that red,
scraggly hair. It's almost like Ronald McDonald's hair and.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Kimmy so excited about it. She's like, oh, I finally
am one step ahead of Madonna.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
So yeah, and I got a rash from like it
was such heavy dye or whatever whatever, synthetic Briteria.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It was the canvas part of it because it was
a wig, you know, and it was meant to be right.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, well I did look wiggsis.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
A lot of things to Andrew.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yes, that's been a running theme of the show. Is
us going, did we we really did that to you?
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Geez.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
Yeah, it's true.

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, and and it just going uh huh, yeah,
no you did. I was aware of it. Yeah, I was.
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Well, you know, if there's any if there's any blame,
it's all on the writers for writing that material. You know.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
They so damn funny.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
If you weren't funny, that's the sometime if you when
you don't suck, they keep writing it.
Speaker 1 (32:33):

Oh we didn ice rink?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, yeah, we uh.
Speaker 1 (32:57):

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Rinks smell the same. I can smell it right now.
Speaker 2 (33:30):

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Yeah, he was the hockey the hockey guy. Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Did you go to Hawaii? Were you in the Hawaii
episode that? Oh you did go? Okay?
Speaker 5 (33:49):
So yeah, Actually what happened with Hawaii? I was led
to be there for the pre meeting and I looked
at my ticket role and by the time when they
got to the airport, my flight was just going.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Oh no, oh no, So you missed the pre meeting.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I missed the free meeting and got there late. First
time in my life that's ever happened, actually, but it was,
you know, one of those things. But but yeah, yeah,
it was the Turtle Bay. We were at Turtle Bay.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, that was I mean, I wasn't in the episode,
but I was there at the hotel pool and I
was I'm just hearing the behind the heat, behind the
scenes stories of what a shoot that was.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Like the kids fall asleep on the.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Boat, right, and you know, just all of it, all
of the craziness that was happening.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I mean, that's what happens when you take a sitcom
out of the stage.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yes, we don't know what to do.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
For It's much harder because you don't have everything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
With you, oh for sure, right, yeah, and everybody's thrown
off a little bit.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Tay was nice. There was a lot of water scenings
there too, so everything air wise needed to to to
stay simple.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah. Yeah, My was just like I had the two
little pigtail things, but I think those were fake because
my hair would not hold curl in the humidity, so
those little ponytails were like little fake My first hair.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Onto one of those little womie ones, yeah, yeah, and
then added added it on.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Those kind of things you have to do on occasion
because you never know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What I have to do them now because I have
three hairs on my head, So it was just a
preview of things to come, sticking fake hair on my head,
you know. But how how have you seen the business change?
Like throughout the years that you've been on it? What
did you what happened for you? Like kind of post
full house and like what has the shift in the
(35:47):
industry been for you?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Well? All I can say for me, I had a
wonderful career. I was able. I was very fortunate to
be too pick and choose what shows I did and
what people I worked with, and was able to work
whenever I wanted to, and that was great. But I
know the industry because of my daughter now, because it
(36:16):
has totally changed as far as hair and makeup, and
you know, with the different strikes and different things that
have been happening. It's sort of a different world now
Hollywood isn't quite Hollywood, and so it's changed. But as
(36:36):
I say, while I was in it for well how
many years was I in it? Thirty years? Had to
be it seemed pretty much the same for me all
the way through. Whatever I did, I would switch from
a TV thing to a commercial to a movie. And
(37:01):
has dogs changed though, for sure, even equipment equipment changed.
I mean, now what you use to do your hair?
I mean at home. I bet you do a great
job now yourself, don't you with a different equipment.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I mean trying to operate hair equipment if my life
depended on it. So I'm just hoping that whatever future
revolution doesn't depend on the use of a curling iron.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
That's what I can't do.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Child actors, we don't know how to dress ourselves. We
don't know how to do our hair.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Well, that's true, there was always someone to do. We're
just I like to say, great job security for making
sure that hair and makeup departments are there, because I
it's I'm never going.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
To go I can do this myself. Came, are ready,
I'm there.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, No, Ana, Maria and Terry like that do my
hair makeup. They keep me I mean, as evidenced by
the gigantic horn that I'm doing today's podcast with.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
They don't let me go out looking a mess. That's
something I can do all on my own.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Yeah, okay, now you see. I would have thought you'd
have got so stylish, both of you from it.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I mean, maybe it's us.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Want to know exactly, Oh, I know who had a
call to make me look like that.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
No, I have my an amazing we have an amazing stylist.
And I got phone calls I'll tell you that, but
they're not me.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah, but I'm retired.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I mean, I'm you're retired now, you're how old?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Ag three?
Speaker 3 (38:43):
What?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (38:46):
I am?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Wow? Wow? Well give us all your secret ball please.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
I'm lucky. I'm lucky. It's jeans, you know, I'm lucky. Yes,
So I'm well retired from the industry now, or I
try to be, except you know, my daughter keep calling
me into different things. And the funniest thing is, well,
yesterday I go to a phone call. I'm working on
(39:13):
something that's period nineteen sixty and I'm going nineteen sixty period. Well,
I was alive and kicking and running around then doing hair.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
You know that's not a period business. That's my early career.
I don't dare you. I was like going period, But
do you need to do research? Research? Twenty years old?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
And it's easy for me to say, you know, I mean,
I I mean talking to you girls, I could go
back and do it any day. I mean I loved it.
I loved it, and I love creating different things too normal.
Like if somebody is a character, I love creating a character.
(40:00):
Look for them.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, you know, you know I find in talking to
my friends and that are hair makeup artists that are
either mine or or just in the business in general.
I love hearing from them about the excitement of creating
their art because I think so often people view, you
(40:24):
know that aren't in the business, view all of the
other stuff as just making like the actor look good,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Like, and when you're in.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
This business, what you realize is each department is so
enjoying creating the thing that they're responsible for, whether it's
the words or the lights, or the set, or the
hair or the wardrobe or whatever. And I just I
love hearing that from like generations of artists in every
department that like, I love creating, I love a character,
(40:55):
I love a challenge, I love a wig, or I
love you know whatever it is, like, Oh, let me
create some thing, and we all have that in us.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
That was the only thing with full House, really, I mean,
I couldn't get that creative for your kids or even
with you know, John or Bubble. It was a pretty
normal everyday look, right, you all had.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
You should have done Fuller because there was nothing normal
or every It was Maria who was the Oh my
we were every week was some new ridiculous costume, a wig,
a stunt something. Oh yeah, yeah, Maria was She like
(41:39):
loved it. Our team was always like, oh now what
I mean? We had special effects, make up coming, all
kinds of stuff, giant uh like Marie antoinette wigs.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
We were in a band.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
I mean that I love doing.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
It was so much fun. And I will say in.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
That way and we we've talked about it. It was very
different than full House because we did kind of play
unless it was a dream sequence or something a little
more normal. For we were like, let's just lean into
the ridiculousness of it. But it made for some fun
hair and makeup.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
Wow, I have to watch some of those. Are they
coming on?
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Are they they are on Netflix? They're on Fuller House.
It was on Netflix. We from what what year did
we start? Twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Twenty well aired in twenty sixteen, but yeah, we started
recording twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen. We we wrapped right
before COVID, Yeah, just a few months before before COVID.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Well, yeah, I was already retired and then another planet.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
By then, I also was on another planet but was
still working.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
I have to watch that because yeah, I wish I'd
just still been working.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, oh my god, you should for the hair and
makeup alone, truly, it's There are some really fun episodes
of Fuller House that we and the wardrobe too. We
had some They let us really kind of go crazy
with some of the wild stunts and wardrobe and costume
things that we got to do in here and makeup.
Speaker 5 (43:13):
So yes, it should be very that should be fun
for people to watch.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Actually, oh, people loved it and we actually, I think
at first we were like what are we doing? And
then we were like, oh, this is great, like it
just we were so silly with it, Andrey and I
and matching outfits at one point.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean, it was yeah, just very so funny stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Today we're reviewing the full House episode where there's a
dream sequence or maybe a nightmare where the guys are
all old. Everybody's aged up, so the adults are now
like in their eighties and the girls are in their
twenties or thirties.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
So yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Watching the gay and yes, John.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Had a bald cap. You had a bald cap. That
was how long does that take to do?
Speaker 3 (44:01):
To do? You know?
Speaker 5 (44:03):
Bob did the boldcast? We did okay, yeah, yeah, but
I just put all the gray and stuff in the
guy's hair and that that's right.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Wow, Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
And that's the episode we just watched. So that should
be a fun little trip down memory lane.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
You get to watch them before me, so you could
revise on all that. You have to remind me of
these things.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh when we watch these episodes.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I mean, the whole reason we started doing our podcast
was because we were like, you know what, you know,
we never watched Full House.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
We didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
So it's been really fun going back because some of
so much of the stuff is enough that we don't
even remember.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
So's yeah, Frankie, we have so enjoyed having you on
the show. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Wonderful just see both of you and to see you
growing up and how you've grown and that you're both beautiful,
wonderful girls, and you're doing well. And the memories of
the show almost brings me to tears because it was
a lot of happiness and as I said, one of
the best things that I ever worked on, and all
(45:27):
you girls were wonderful. In fact, I have to say,
everybody on the show was a delight.

I have major hair envy.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Here's the same.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
You know what I grew on.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
So is that her and Anna Maria are. I don't
know why it fall into the same. They're like both petite,
dark hair. Yeah, they're like tiny, tiny yeah, yeah, little people,
but like yeah, yeah, I don't know why. I was
just like, oh, yeah, there's something familiar about that.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
I think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
That was maybe why, like I connected with Anna Maria
so much too. It was like it felt like yeah, yeah,
I remember sitting in like someone's chair like this.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
I don't know, but frank Oh my gosh, what so what?
How special to have her on the show? I see her.
I haven't seen her probably since the nineties.
Speaker 2 (46:46):
I haven't either, And can we just say that Stacy
is doing John's hair today?
Speaker 1 (46:51):
What?
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Right? What are the odds of that? What is John
doing today? I'm going to text him, text him like,
what are you doing? And are you Stacy Bergman?
Speaker 1 (47:03):
Yeah, we just talked to Frankie. We just talked to Frankie.
We know what you're doing. Let's not make this weird.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Yeah, everywhere you look, right, But yeah, it's so crazy.
I mean, like generations of hair, generations of actors. It
is such a small, strange, little world that we work in. Yeah,
it's a very it's a very small world. But I
love that that Frankie has passed.
Speaker 3 (47:31):
The torch to her daughter and that Stacy still calls

Speaker 2 (49:01):
A
Look at us. We're on top of it.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We're in it, right, two weeks like nothing happened. Yeah right,
it's you know, something will happen.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
Just wait. Oh I said that.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
With so much sarcasm because I'm already like wait, it
feels like I've been gone forever. I just got back
from Italy, which was an amazing trip.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yes, super fun. Yeah, so it was are you jet
lagged still? Are you sleep? I don't even know what
I'm I'm sort of back to where I was.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
It's kind of like, remember when we came back from Japan. Oh, yes,
so going that direction, like heading east.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Is worse. So remember when we got to.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Japan, everyone was like, yeah, the jet leg's not that bad.
I actually feel okay, And I was like, no, this
is great. And then coming home everyone was like I
don't think I'm a human being anymore. So I had
that feeling when we got there. Okay, a bit of
a wreck, yeah, a bit of a wreck. I didn't
know like what I was like, I don't know if
(01:25):
I want to eat or sleep or walk around or
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
So well, at least they have good espresso, so that
could Oh my god, give you a perk.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Let me tell you, I'm so sad that every six
feet that I walk in Los Angeles there's not an
espresso bar. And by espresso bar, you guys, I didn't
see one chain coffee place.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
It was heaven truly.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
And it was like you just walk, you know, have
a few halfway down the block and there would be
there'd be another little coffee bar and you and you
stand there. It's you can get a coffee to go,
but but you just they give you a little a
little cup and you stand at the bar and like dolls,
espresso the little espresso cup.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And it's perfect. And I was like, okay, I can
do that.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Like every ninety minutes or so, I just stopped to
refuel with some caffeine amidst walking around so much incredible
art and history. I was trying not to be a
total dorky tourist, but I absolutely was.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So it was great, Oh, what was your favorite city
that you visited?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Because you went to some We went to several. We
went to Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We were out in like kind of the Tuscan countryside
in we stayed in a little place called Montebinice and
UH and Bussine. I think that's how you say it.
Please forgive me Italians if I am murdering the names
of these wonderful cities. Anyway, I yeah, it just uh,
(03:02):
I just realized something I saw. I thought we were
going right into things, and I was like, wait.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yes, well the movies just started chatting, so like, let's
use it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
The best part is is I was like, watch how
great this is gonna go? And I forgot what we
were doing in the moment we were doing it.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Three and a half minutes ago. We were like, we're
so on top of things. This is great, and I
was like, no, something's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That's amazing that while not being on top of things,
I was like, we're so on top of things.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
That's that's a new level. That's a new level.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Usually I at least know when things have gone off.
The thround, I had no idea. I was like, wait
a minute, you know that's okay. It's to answer your question, yes,
I'm quite jet lagged. Yeah I don't. I don't think
I well as I thought I had.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
So you need an espresso in a nap but we're
power but I don't know in which order, you know, Like,
I don't I don't even know.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
I don't know what I need. I was curled up
like an armadillo yesterday. I was just like, I don't
do well with transitions going from vacation back to real life.
It's yeah, oh it's tough. Yeah, that's a hard reality check.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
It is.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
It is, uh and a decidedly less caffeinated one.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So yeah, but how have you been? Maybe the last
couple of weeks been still not doing the intros. I
love it.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean, at this point, it doesn't matter. At this point,
it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
We don't know what episode we're doing. We don't know
what's going on. Like we're just gonna chat. We're just
gonna tell us when to shut up, so or they won't.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what happens at
this point.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah. Maybe now now we do intros, you fools? Okay,
So nice, She's right, like we deserve to be like
I don't yeah, I don't want Yeah, it's like you
don't want to just you know, yell at people who
don't really have their foot in reality because he hears them.
So yeah, she's like to like calmly be like, hey, guys,
(05:06):

thirty five years, so this is very very cool.

Thay, I've never done a podcast before. Yeah, I'm useless
with computers, so if anything happened, he was right here.
Speaker 2 (06:21):

you're going, No, it was Disneyland. That was your Jody.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I definitely uh and I loved Disneyland,
and you know, John also encouraged that greatly.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
So I was gonna say, we've had so much fun.
Watched looking at our hairstyles from the eighties. From nineteen
eighty seven, I guess we're in nineteen ninety now in
season three. Yeah, but oh boy, the hairstyles iconic, So.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We couldn't wait to get you on the show.

There were so many mullets.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
And all the all the hair things to all the
little things that we had in those shows. Yes, some
of them are still around and coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Scrunchies are a thing again.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
I go to, you know, the mall with my kids

you know, and they wear them around their wrist.
Speaker 1 (08:06):

Speaker 3 (08:26):
We're dating ourselves, right, No, world, just getting better of age.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, mine are sixteen and fourteen, so yeah, wow.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My kids of fifty four fifty two.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Oh my gosh, Frankie, have you seen Full House since
it aired originally?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Have you gone back to watch this?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Okay of the episodes, Yes, Okay, he doesn't bring back
a lot of memories.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
To watch it now. But I bump into people and
they when they say, what have you done? You know,
I did so much and so many features and things
things like that. But I have to say, the one
thing that I always comment and enjoyed. I think one
of the best was Full House to do. It was
(09:11):
there were a lot of memories and a lot of
fun things, particularly when we all went to Orlando, you know,
or Land, Yeah, Disney and you know everybody got lost
in things.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
You know, it was ohne, Yeah, when I got lost
in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
There is there is that time. Remember when I got
lasted at the air I got in Vegas? Yeah, as
a child. I mean.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
You were really young, both of you. Yeah, But I
have to say I'm not saying in front of everybody,
you too always came in happy. I don't remember, you know.
I was trying to think back of incidents I could
bring up or say about you too. You Andrew always
came in, was there a smile, And I don't remember
(10:01):
ever you coming in and being miserable or I'm happy
or having a problem. You were always a happy person.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I was, And I don't remember ever being.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You came in and you just did you think we
were laughing and happy too?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, I mean I think we were everybody.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah, we were also really enjoying ourselves as kids and
everyone all of the adults around us, you know, cast
and crew, you know our hair makeup order.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Everybody likes all loved.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Being around us and took care of us, and it
was Yeah, it definitely was a family.
Speaker 5 (10:37):
Yeah, it definitely was. But it's funny because a lot
of the hairdoos that were work that we did when
when back then are sort of coming back into fashion
and even have rolled into fashion different things again.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Right, I cannot hear anyone say half and half without
thinking of a half half down. Yeah yeah, not the creamer,
but half and half, like like that was sort of
the cost, Like there's just just do a half and
a half where you pulled half of your hair up
in a scrunchyet and well.
Speaker 5 (11:10):
I always got I always got told off by camera
if I had any hair around your faces, right right, No,
it was like I'm shadowing you and your faces. So
the half and half worked a lot for me.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean Candace's bangs. We watched the last
episode that we watched that we're gonna review later on today.
I was like, the bangs have grown. They were definitely
like they were getting They were less teased than the
eighties moment, but they were like.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Uh, it was more bang. I feel like it was
more bang for your Bucky. Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
It's not more set looking than they do now.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Right right, it looked like we were wearing wigs then,
in fact we are now, but there's more than our
hair did then.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, weirdly enough, Yeah, but.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
You know why I love We had to get it
in a certain look because sometimes you had to go
back to a scene right to match right, So you
had to don't have a set thing.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
You couldn't have all those polaroid continuity pictures, those pictures yeaheah, yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Would have to take a picture of us at every angle,
to the back of the hair, of the front side.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you can imagine in the days before iPhone photos,
this is we there were physical polaroids and you had
big rings of them for every episode and the rings
for the rings.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
That's right, that's right. Yeah, I have something to show you.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oh, oh that I have kept. Oh it's a script.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's one of our scripts script the last script A
full house.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Oh, and Andrea, you have said lovely things about me. Jody,
you've said wonderful things about me. I mean one always
does when you're writing to somebody, regardless what you think
you know. But now I had it at my desk.
I've had it all this and let me tell you,
it's the only script that I ever kept from anything.
(13:21):
So that sort of tells you something about how it
was on the show with everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
You're so meaningful. Yeah, it was a meaningful experience for
all of us.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
If you want to hear something else very strange today,
please if you remember my daughter Stacy, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
she came and she helped out something. Yeah, she's doing
stay Moss today.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
What no way?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, yeah, incredible something that she's working on today. And
she sent me the cruelest And there was John to
day and I said, wow, now is that weird?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
That is so uncanny? Yeah, did you give your tips
on how to cough that?
Speaker 4 (14:03):
You know?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
That iconic?
Speaker 5 (14:04):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
He's a little particular.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
He was. I don't know if he is now more so.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah, it just gets it gets everybody, haven't you.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yes, Oh my gosh, we yeah, we never stopped hanging out,
like even just all growing up and throughout each other's lives.
It's we've been just really really close.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Unusual, that is, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
What we're hearing. It's unusual for us.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
It's like, of course, of course we stayed in touch,
it's natural, but we're hearing its not like that on
every on every show, so we feel very fortunate.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
For sure. It is Frankie.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
We have loved interviewing people from behind the scenes on
the show because we get to hear about all of
the things we never knew, like your origin story, like
how did you start uh going into hairstyling and into
the entertainment business, Like what was what prompted you to
want to do that?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Well, if you want to know when I you know,
I grew up in London and I went to stage
school in London, and I was on the same side
of it as you, doing films, television and acting and
singing and dancing.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Ah.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
And as I got older, my mother decided that she
wanted me to have another career to fall that you
could always fall back on, and she was a studio hairstylist,
so I learned that and then gradually I changed over
to it, you know. And then when I moved to America, America,
(15:43):
I was doing stage shows and things and television and
just it was just natural thing for me to get into.
And I think what helped me was because I was
like a child actress and I'd done so much. I
knew your feelings. I knew how you would be on
(16:04):
that side of it because I lived. I lived it,
yeah a little girl.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
That's that's really important, so that you know, yeah, especially
as teenagers. Once we became teenagers on the show and
felt so self conscious, you know, about everything in life,
everything that was going on, the changes in us.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, I know that's somebody.
Speaker 5 (16:24):
Because when I was young, I used to work for
a company called Marks and Spencers.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah and Spencers.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
They used to do knitting things then, you know, so
and I used to do their patterns and because I
was growing, they used to put bandages around me around
my chest. Oh right, so you know, because so you know,
I know all these conscious things that you start to
feel as a teenager growing up.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So when you're growing up in like in front of
people and having to sort of weirdly be this.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
It's not that it's not. It's not that easy, and
it went out. You can't sometimes pay yourself to enjoy
because you you know, certain people are recognizing you, particularly
when I think television more so when you're on a
series television, people know you all the time.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, we grew up in their living rooms basically,
you know, eight years of our childhood. And yeah, it's
like we grew up with everywhere. That's what people say
to us. We feel like we grew up with you.
We grew up with the Tanners. It was like a
surrogate family.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It's a very just fly to do features. Actually we
were here and I worked a lot with Jaminie Curtis
Oh okay stuff and I did. In fact, I'm known
as the horror Queen of hair. So it's my time
of year because I don't Yes, this is my Monthea.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I am with you on that.
Speaker 5 (17:51):
But I didn't really want to do TV. But when
I did do the odd thing and then I came
onto a full house, it was like, wow, this is
I get some life when I do a TV show.
So yeah, yeah. The sitcom was originally were shooting over
(18:11):
my side of the town and then it moved, which
is like ten minutes from my house. And then you
moved to the valley. You know, it's at the time
they were younger, not that young, but they were living
at home still, you know, so, but when it went
moved to the valley. But it was fine. I mean
(18:31):
I loved it. I looked forward to going to work always. Always.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
It was a special set, you know, it was really
there was something magical about that set and those those people,
and yeah, this has just been a blast to get
to reconnect with everybody.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
What was it like had you worked on like show
movies and stuff with a lot of kids before. I
mean our set was quite kid and family heavy as
compared to a lot of TV shows at the time,
and the kids were really the.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Sign fails anything. But you know, older got it well.
I mean there has been a child on it, right,
but nothing like Full House. I mean I don't think
you bot many shows that had all children on it.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, I think full House was a pioneer in that sense.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
What was you need? Yeah, and everybody you bumped into
their children just loved Full House. That was the only
one that they, you know, really clamored to because they
could associate with it.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
I think a lot of shows, the kids were just
like furniture in the background. Like, the storylines weren't about
the kids. They were just sort of there. But Full
House really zoned in. It figured out early on that hey,
this is a family show. It's not just about the adults, right.
Kids really really drove the storylines for all eight seasons,
and that's what made it different.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
It's true.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, who was easier to work with the adults on
the show or the kids on the show.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Oh, she has to think about it.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
It was pretty I mean for me, yeah, I found
it all pretty easy.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Okay, the ads probably had a very different prima donnas.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
None of you were prima donnas. Was It just became
so natural, didn't it. I mean it was natural. You
just wanted in the makeup room, you wanted out you
you know, it was just.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
There was nobody on the set that like you were ever.
Nobody was worried about approaching or like oh okay, you know,
there was never that vibe of anybody.
Speaker 5 (20:55):
And I have to say, oh, you girls were great because,
like a lot of children, you do that hair and
then all of a sudden they go all right, right,
oh this is horrible, and they go out and trying
they get to the set, the hair looks My god,
did I do that? You know?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
We were when we did Fuller.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
We worked with the kids and saw it and we
were like, oh, yes, you actually can't rub your head
on the sofa like that.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
It would.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
We were all so easy. I don't remember either of
you saying, oh I hate this, Can you change it?
Can you do something else? You sort of left it
to me to do what was what was.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
To the day.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
I mean, you know, I will say though, I do
remember like there were times maybe with wardrobe, probably as
I got a little older, and maybe I'm sure you
can attest to this to where it was like maybe
something that I did I was like not loving it
or whatever. But I never, like I really learned how
to be able to say to adults at that point
(21:56):
in my life, I don't know that I love this,
or like maybe let's try this, because everyone around us
was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Great, like nobody ever.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Yeah, well, but nobody ever didn't listen to us because
we were kids, and that really helped, Like growing up,
I learned how to be able to say, like, you
know what, actually like maybe this or the like I
just can't explain as a kid what it feels like
to have people really listen to you and not feel like,
(22:30):
you know, they're telling you what to do.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
And I never felt like that with any of the adults.
Speaker 5 (22:34):
I don't remember you, Jody ever sitting in my chair
and saying I don't like what I'm wearing and I
don't like how my hand looks. Yeah, no, I don't
think that ever. In all the years came up.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, it was always like if the and I knew
like it would start in Wardrop, if there was ever
even just the little hint of like.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Roberta and Gina would be like.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Kimmy's Kimmy's wardrobe was definitely not
your taste.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
No, but I think they tried to.

I was still on something.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
Remember Bobby Ostroman. Yes, so Bobby phoned me and pulled
me in and that was how I came on it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
But Bob Osterman was our head of he was ahead
of our makeup department, right, yeah, and he worked on
the show.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
And yes, it was very easy going. Yeah, it was great,
just recently actually really he was always a very quiet guy,
you know, yes guy.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, really mellow, you know, very yeah, yeah, just easy
and yeah, no I do remember that.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
But yeah, the first two seasons, we definitely are the
first like season and a half or so, we noticed.
It was also it was the mid eighties were it
was time much hairspray and holes in the ozone layer.

Speaker 5 (25:10):
What you know those you know.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Those the things that those that guys would have, like
the long rat tail, like the bra braid in like
the in the eighties, or if you blocked that out too.
It's pretty horrific.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
It's just like I don't remember anybody that had it.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
There was a ripper.

There was one of the Jesse and the Rippers had
a rat tail and we were we just couldn't.

I can't talk about it. I can't stop talking about it.
It was we. I named him rat Tail Ripper as.

We've been doing the season one though, So that's why
you weren't there.
Speaker 1 (25:41):

Speaker 2 (25:43):
But but but I believe there's a clash action lawsuit
happening for Rattail Ripper.

in Frankie Valley and that food and cello.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
They since worked with them, actually with a Back to
the Beach movie. Yeah, yeah, that was fun. But but
but no, sometimes you did the character things. I remember
one year though, we were all there and it's appropriate
(26:55):
for now, because it was Halloween and all your cared
just wanted to get out and go to Halloween, right,
and somehow we weren't getting out. It was getting so
late and I think it was like seven something. Yeah,
already it was seven something before you guys, before we
(27:19):
were all released to go. That was that was closer
to the end of it than the beginning.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah. Yeah, that's prime tricker treating time.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:29):
Yeah, that was the only time I saw everybody a
little bit down, you know, because we all thought they
all thought, oh thanks son, We all thought that it
was going to be I'm losing my boy.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
There were definitely those things, like working with a lot
of kids that you you know, that you you sort
of take for granted, like Halloween or things like that.
You're like, oh what I but you know, You've got
a set full of kids who are like, but I'm
but I'm I'm going trigger treating right Like I'm not.
I'm still I'm still doing that, and everyone's like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(28:05):
oh okay, you know, and if it falls on a
Thursday or a tape day, it's like, yeah, you know, the.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
Only time everybody was I was miserable. I don't want
to be there either. That was the only time, right.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Well, and it's heart too.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
You really had favorite Do you remember a favorite look
that I did on you?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Oh yeah, I was just going to ask you that
same question, So favorite look?
Speaker 5 (28:29):
What was your favorite look?
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I'm trying to remember. Okay, So we are in season three.
So my hair is kind of curly. There's a lot
of scrunchies, a lot of ponytails, and then it went straight.
In the later seasons it got really long. And really
I was so excited to have straight hair because I
got it straightened to that like caroteene treatment.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
So I was very excited to find because my hair
is naturally wavy, it doesn't it's not naturally straight, and
so I was very excited to finally get it straightened professionally.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
As you're watching the show, there's something. I mean, I
know you were little then, but do you is there
anything you would say, I like my hair looking that
style that was a good look for me. Is there
anything you can think of that you like personally? I mean,
I know things I liked as I did them, obviously,
but for you girls, what did you like?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I think I also liked when my hair was straighter,
just because my hair is naturally straight, so to get
it curly involved you know, sponge rollers the first couple seasons,
and then the little hot worm roller things that just
slowly ripped out your baby hairs when you took those
out of your head after seven hours.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So yeah, it was a lot of.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Like maintenance, and then the perming which turned my hair
to straw.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, it just my poor hair to stay that like
Stephanie curly.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
And also fashion change. Yeah yeah, it was much more
like the mind and easier.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I remember you they.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
And those little bhoteros, the big one.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
The little sponge rollers.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Yeah, my mom my mom and a sponge roller in
a jar of dippity do hair gel every night, just
in those little papers. I can still hear those like
little hair rolling papers. They're almost like cigarette rolling papers.
I can hear those and it's like a yeah, but yeah,
(30:25):
I uh it's it was a lot to get my
hair there, so I think, yeah, the straight ones.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But did you do did you do the episode where?
Speaker 2 (30:36):
And I think you did because I think it's coming
up in like season four ish the dream sequence episode
where I had the big blue like feathered dress the
Sheese dancing, you know, and everyone was in the tuxedos
and that I loved that hair tee.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
That was Yeah, that look I loved. That was the
only look when I had to take it off.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
It was like a relaxed look, like a well, no,
I think I there was.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
We had it like up in. It was a very
like kind of forties like thing.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh I loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Yeah, Probably the time, I hated it because it required
a lot of hair spray. But like now looking back
on him, like that looked great.
Speaker 3 (31:20):
I remember having to wear that wig. There was an
episode where DJ and maybe Stephanie was giving Kimmy a
makeover and so and Kimmy ends up having like that red,
scraggly hair. It's almost like Ronald McDonald's hair and.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Kimmy so excited about it. She's like, oh, I finally
am one step ahead of Madonna.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
So yeah, and I got a rash from like it
was such heavy dye or whatever whatever, synthetic Briteria.
Speaker 5 (31:44):
It was the canvas part of it because it was
a wig, you know, and it was meant to be right.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Yeah, well I did look wiggsis.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
A lot of things to Andrew.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Yes, that's been a running theme of the show. Is
us going, did we we really did that to you?
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3 (32:07):

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, and and it just going uh huh, yeah,
no you did. I was aware of it. Yeah, I was.
Thanks for that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Well, you know, if there's any if there's any blame,
it's all on the writers for writing that material. You know.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
They so damn funny.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
If you weren't funny, that's the sometime if you when
you don't suck, they keep writing it.

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Yeah, he was the hockey the hockey guy. Yeah, that's right,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Did you go to Hawaii? Were you in the Hawaii
episode that? Oh you did go? Okay?
Speaker 5 (33:49):
So yeah, Actually what happened with Hawaii? I was led
to be there for the pre meeting and I looked
at my ticket role and by the time when they
got to the airport, my flight was just going.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Oh no, oh no, So you missed the pre meeting.
Speaker 5 (34:06):
I missed the free meeting and got there late. First
time in my life that's ever happened, actually, but it was,
you know, one of those things. But but yeah, yeah,
it was the Turtle Bay. We were at Turtle Bay.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
Yeah, that was I mean, I wasn't in the episode,
but I was there at the hotel pool and I
was I'm just hearing the behind the heat, behind the
scenes stories of what a shoot that was.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Like the kids fall asleep on the.
Speaker 3 (34:34):
Boat, right, and you know, just all of it, all
of the craziness that was happening.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I mean, that's what happens when you take a sitcom
out of the stage.
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yes, we don't know what to do.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
For It's much harder because you don't have everything.
Speaker 3 (34:48):
With you, oh for sure, right, yeah, and everybody's thrown
off a little bit.
Speaker 5 (34:54):
Tay was nice. There was a lot of water scenings
there too, so everything air wise needed to to to
stay simple.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Yeah. Yeah, My was just like I had the two
little pigtail things, but I think those were fake because
my hair would not hold curl in the humidity, so
those little ponytails were like little fake My first hair.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
Onto one of those little womie ones, yeah, yeah, and
then added added it on.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (35:23):
Those kind of things you have to do on occasion
because you never know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
What I have to do them now because I have
three hairs on my head, So it was just a
preview of things to come, sticking fake hair on my head,
you know. But how how have you seen the business change?
Like throughout the years that you've been on it? What
did you what happened for you? Like kind of post
full house and like what has the shift in the
(35:47):
industry been for you?
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Well? All I can say for me, I had a
wonderful career. I was able. I was very fortunate to
be too pick and choose what shows I did and
what people I worked with, and was able to work
whenever I wanted to, and that was great. But I
know the industry because of my daughter now, because it
(36:16):
has totally changed as far as hair and makeup, and
you know, with the different strikes and different things that
have been happening. It's sort of a different world now
Hollywood isn't quite Hollywood, and so it's changed. But as
(36:36):
I say, while I was in it for well how
many years was I in it? Thirty years? Had to
be it seemed pretty much the same for me all
the way through. Whatever I did, I would switch from
a TV thing to a commercial to a movie. And
(37:01):
has dogs changed though, for sure, even equipment equipment changed.
I mean, now what you use to do your hair?
I mean at home. I bet you do a great
job now yourself, don't you with a different equipment.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
I mean trying to operate hair equipment if my life
depended on it. So I'm just hoping that whatever future
revolution doesn't depend on the use of a curling iron.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
That's what I can't do.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Child actors, we don't know how to dress ourselves. We
don't know how to do our hair.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Well, that's true, there was always someone to do. We're
just I like to say, great job security for making
sure that hair and makeup departments are there, because I
it's I'm never going.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
To go I can do this myself. Came, are ready,
I'm there.
Speaker 2 (37:46):
No, No, Ana, Maria and Terry like that do my
hair makeup. They keep me I mean, as evidenced by
the gigantic horn that I'm doing today's podcast with.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
They don't let me go out looking a mess. That's
something I can do all on my own.
Speaker 5 (38:04):
Yeah, okay, now you see. I would have thought you'd
have got so stylish, both of you from it.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I mean, maybe it's us.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
Want to know exactly, Oh, I know who had a
call to make me look like that.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
No, I have my an amazing we have an amazing stylist.
And I got phone calls I'll tell you that, but
they're not me.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:34):
Yeah, but I'm retired.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
I mean, I'm you're retired now, you're how old?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Ag three?
Speaker 3 (38:43):
What?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
No?
Speaker 5 (38:46):
I am?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Wow? Wow? Well give us all your secret ball please.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
I'm lucky. I'm lucky. It's jeans, you know, I'm lucky. Yes,
So I'm well retired from the industry now, or I
try to be, except you know, my daughter keep calling
me into different things. And the funniest thing is, well,
yesterday I go to a phone call. I'm working on
(39:13):
something that's period nineteen sixty and I'm going nineteen sixty period. Well,
I was alive and kicking and running around then doing hair.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
You know that's not a period business. That's my early career.
I don't dare you. I was like going period, But
do you need to do research? Research? Twenty years old?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
And it's easy for me to say, you know, I mean,
I I mean talking to you girls, I could go
back and do it any day. I mean I loved it.
I loved it, and I love creating different things too normal.
Like if somebody is a character, I love creating a character.
(40:00):
Look for them.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
Yeah, you know, you know I find in talking to
my friends and that are hair makeup artists that are
either mine or or just in the business in general.
I love hearing from them about the excitement of creating
their art because I think so often people view, you
(40:24):
know that aren't in the business, view all of the
other stuff as just making like the actor look good,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
Like, and when you're in.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
This business, what you realize is each department is so
enjoying creating the thing that they're responsible for, whether it's
the words or the lights, or the set, or the
hair or the wardrobe or whatever. And I just I
love hearing that from like generations of artists in every
department that like, I love creating, I love a character,
(40:55):
I love a challenge, I love a wig, or I
love you know whatever it is, like, Oh, let me
create some thing, and we all have that in us.
Speaker 5 (41:02):
That was the only thing with full House, really, I mean,
I couldn't get that creative for your kids or even
with you know, John or Bubble. It was a pretty
normal everyday look, right, you all had.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
You should have done Fuller because there was nothing normal
or every It was Maria who was the Oh my
we were every week was some new ridiculous costume, a wig,
a stunt something. Oh yeah, yeah, Maria was She like
(41:39):
loved it. Our team was always like, oh now what
I mean? We had special effects, make up coming, all
kinds of stuff, giant uh like Marie antoinette wigs.
Speaker 1 (41:49):
We were in a band.
Speaker 5 (41:50):
I mean that I love doing.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
It was so much fun. And I will say in.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
That way and we we've talked about it. It was very
different than full House because we did kind of play
unless it was a dream sequence or something a little
more normal. For we were like, let's just lean into
the ridiculousness of it. But it made for some fun
hair and makeup.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
Wow, I have to watch some of those. Are they
coming on?
Speaker 2 (42:15):
Are they they are on Netflix? They're on Fuller House.
It was on Netflix. We from what what year did
we start? Twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen?
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Twenty well aired in twenty sixteen, but yeah, we started
recording twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen. We we wrapped right
before COVID, Yeah, just a few months before before COVID.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Well, yeah, I was already retired and then another planet.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
By then, I also was on another planet but was
still working.
Speaker 5 (42:48):
I have to watch that because yeah, I wish I'd
just still been working.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Yeah, oh my god, you should for the hair and
makeup alone, truly, it's There are some really fun episodes
of Fuller House that we and the wardrobe too. We
had some They let us really kind of go crazy
with some of the wild stunts and wardrobe and costume
things that we got to do in here and makeup.
Speaker 5 (43:13):
So yes, it should be very that should be fun
for people to watch.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
Actually, oh, people loved it and we actually, I think
at first we were like what are we doing? And
then we were like, oh, this is great, like it
just we were so silly with it, Andrey and I
and matching outfits at one point.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
I mean, it was yeah, just very so funny stuff.
Speaker 3 (43:34):
Today we're reviewing the full House episode where there's a
dream sequence or maybe a nightmare where the guys are
all old. Everybody's aged up, so the adults are now
like in their eighties and the girls are in their
twenties or thirties.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
So yeah, it's so fun.
Speaker 5 (43:50):
Watching the gay and yes, John.
Speaker 1 (43:56):
Had a bald cap. You had a bald cap. That
was how long does that take to do?
Speaker 3 (44:01):
To do? You know?
Speaker 5 (44:03):
Bob did the boldcast? We did okay, yeah, yeah, but
I just put all the gray and stuff in the
guy's hair and that that's right.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
Wow, Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
And that's the episode we just watched. So that should
be a fun little trip down memory lane.
Speaker 5 (44:19):
You get to watch them before me, so you could
revise on all that. You have to remind me of
these things.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Oh when we watch these episodes.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I mean, the whole reason we started doing our podcast
was because we were like, you know what, you know,
we never watched Full House.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
We didn't watch it.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
So it's been really fun going back because some of
so much of the stuff is enough that we don't
even remember.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
So's yeah, Frankie, we have so enjoyed having you on
the show. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 3 (46:10):
You know what I grew on.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
So is that her and Anna Maria are. I don't
know why it fall into the same. They're like both petite,
dark hair. Yeah, they're like tiny, tiny yeah, yeah, little people,
but like yeah, yeah, I don't know why. I was
just like, oh, yeah, there's something familiar about that.
Speaker 1 (46:29):
I think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (46:30):
That was maybe why, like I connected with Anna Maria
so much too. It was like it felt like yeah, yeah,
I remember sitting in like someone's chair like this.
Speaker 1 (46:37):
I don't know, but frank Oh my gosh, what so what?
