She designed her hair. I know there's a lot of speculation among, uh, super Ghostbusters fans that it was modeled on the cartoon version of Egon. I'd like to say it was but it really wasn't because I went into hair--the make up trailer on day, on the first day, and she was working with her hair person in doing that kind of pompadour and I was like 'That. Ok. That's cool' and that was it. It was that easy. Her look was there."
