I remember when I tried it. I was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo—and I kept it all my life! At the time of Cléo I grew it a little more, and when Jacques died I grew a bit here. [She pulls out a strand.] I made a braid because Chinese old people, they say that the God will take you by the hair to join you with—but God didn’t take me, so I cut the braid. Now it’s the same hairdo but it has two colors—come on! It’s different! It’s like an ice cream of chocolate and vanilla! I tried a wig. I hated myself totally white. So now I cheat. It’s my white hair, and I put color there.

The new edition of Elaine May’s “Mikey and Nicky” (1976) was just announced by The Criterion Collection, and I was fortunate to be asked to illustrate the cover. The design was a collaborative effort between myself and art director Eric Skillman, with input from Elaine May herself.

This film was grossly under-appreciated at the time and in history, and I am proud to participate in it’s getting due attention, along with Elaine May herself who has always and will always deserve more attention and status as an artist and figure in American film.
