False Advertising
So you’ve seen the advertisement for Street Jeans in Tres Chic magazine — “You know Tres Chic,” grins ATWT’s Terri Colombino (Katie). “Very chic. It’s so funny: On the bottom of the ad it says Paris, London, New York, Chicago … Oakdale!” Well, it features Oakdale’s hottest construction worker, Mike, and you probably caught the photo shoot for it in October. “I would be a horrible model,” claims his portrayer, Mark Collier. “Not my thing.” Even so, the pictures came out pretty nice, and we’ve got a behind-the-scenes account from ATWT Makeup Artist Eldo Ray Estes, who made his soap debut along with Hair Stylist and DIGEST‘s “Hair’s The Thing” contributor, Theresa Marra Siliceo. Ironically, although the shoot includes a makeup artist and hair stylist, they didn’t get those roles. 
“When Theresa and I were at the production meeting, we saw that there was going to be a hair person and a makeup person for Mike’s big photo shoot, so sort of as a joke, we said to Chris [Goutman, executive producer], ‘Can we do it?’ Chris being the great guy that he is, said, ‘I would love to have you and Theresa do it, but I can’t really take work away from actors.’ And we were like, ‘Oh, it’s no big deal.’ We were kind of goofing anyway. So then we sort of forgot about it, but when those scenes came around, Katie from casting said, ‘Chris has decided to put the two of you in the scene anyway, as extra help.’ So it was really something where Chris didn’t forget that we had mentioned it, and he gave us a little treat. We were assisting the photographer, and our names even got put into the script, so it was a hoot! And we went through the whole hair, makeup and wardrobe routine. Although I actually did Theresa’s makeup! But we had a really good time — Theresa’s been offered a contract,” laughs Estes, who actually had an early brush with fame. “I’m in the movie Ghostbusters. I have two lines to Bill Murray, at the end when they finally exorcise the ghosts out of the apartment building on Central Park West. The Ghostbusters are coming out of the building, victorious, and I shake Bill Murray’s hand and congratulate him. But you see me, probably about 12 times in the last half-hour of the movie. That was my big 15 minutes.”
