Just like her current popular CBS soap, Beyond The Gates, this Volumetric Haircut story has a lot of twists and turns! It all started a few days ago when a Guest of Artistic Elite Designer Danette at Sienna gave her this magazine clipping of an interview with the legendary actress Tamara Tunie, originally from McKeesport, PA. Turns out this her “first real hairstyle” (as the article asks) was created by none other than Philip Pelusi! So we asked Philip to get all great scoop…
Philip shares… “Tamara and her sister were models that I cut, styled and photographed around 1977 or 78 when Coiffure de Paris Magazine came from Paris to Pittsburgh to interview me, and photograph me, the models and the Philip Pelusi Design staff at our Bank Center Salon in downtown Pittsburgh at the time.”
Philip shares… “You can see in this group photo in front of the salon, of the staff and models we presented to the magazine. The magazine took many photos of our salon and our work in progress. The cuts and designs for both Tamara and her sister were smooth Bob style haircuts with strong asymmetrical angled bangs.”
Philip shares… “These are the images from the actual published Coiffure de Paris Magazine. You can see in the 1st magazine clip (shown here) Tamara is sitting on the floor gazing down and also standing with a group of models and the Philip Pelusi design staff with my hand almost under her chin.”
Philip shares… “And in the 2nd magazine clip (also shown here) Tamara’s photo is above the Volu-Raising word on the page and her sister is sitting on the floor striking a pose to the left of her. Both glamourous women who wore our Volumetric designs very well.”
Since then the well-respected actress has commanded many roles as a strong female character, starring as a temptress in The Devil’s Advocate, Flight, Law & Order, As the World Turns and so many more including her current role as the striking, long gray haired matriarch Anita Dupree on CBS’s super popular soap, Beyond The Gates.
