There’s Beth’s clinical, utilitarian micro-fringe haircut to signify a stripping of identity as she first joins the orphanage, which eventually softens into a side-parted bob of cascading curls as she matures into an elegant young woman. And it is Parker’s exquisite yet subtle hair and beauty looks that help narrate this journey. Set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, it’s a coming-of-age tale which sees Beth evolve from an orphan child to headstrong young woman, fighting to be seen in a male-dominated world of chess.
Written and directed by Scott Frank, and based on the 1983 Walter Tevis novel of the same name, the series stars Anya Taylor-Joy as formidable chess prodigy, Beth Harmon. Parker’s most recent work, though, can be seen lighting up the small screen on the hit Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit.
“I as a prop man to the face,” says Hollywood’s leading hair and makeup artist, British-born Daniel Parker, whose impressive CV includes credits on Troy (2004), Zero Dark Thirty (2012) and TV series Chernobyl (2019).
