Jada Pinkett Smith recalled the experience on the Eddie Murphy-led film, saying they put her in 'some crazy wigs' that 'missed the mark,' and was ultimately why she got her own stylist
star said that while working on the film where she played Carla Purty, the love interest to Murphy’s nerdy and kind-hearted academic, Sherman Klump, they put her in bad wigs that illustrated how little the film’s stylists knew about Black hair.
Pinkett Smith told the table that the experience was a “rough one” because “the woman who made this wig, she missed the mark,” speaking to one of the wigs she wore in the movie. Pinkett Smith went on to explain that the reason her wigs looked so bad during the film was that the stylist straightened most of the hair, but not the roots.
