There's a funny story behind the shaggy microbob hairstyle that Curtis wears in the movie — it was all her own doing. "Jamie actually pulled that photo off of one of our mood boards," Salazar says. "She said, 'I just want to be her. This is my goal now for the movie.'" The image that was calling to her was a stock photo of an IRS tax agent who she says "looked very angry."
The agent in the photo had microbangs and a very short bob to match in a faded blond colour. "It was very unkept, a little messy," Salazar says. "[Curtis] just fully embodied that character. She let out her gut, her posture changed. She even wore a signature Deirdre scent every day."
