CANNOT BELIEVE IT BUT AFTER
30 YEARS, EDDIE MURPHY MADE IT
Mikey: WE MEET THE LADIES
BEHIND HIS ACONNIC -- ICONIC
LOOK.
THIS IS WHAT'S POPPIN' AT HOME.
HELLO.
Mikey: IF YOU WATCHED
"COMING 2 AMERICA," YOU KNOW I'M
GOING TO BE TALKING ON SOMETHING
VERY SPECTACULAR.
I HAVE TWO OF THE HAIR DESIGNERS
ON "COMING 2 AMERICA" JOINING ME
TODAY.
WE HAVE STACEY MORRIS AND CARLA
FARMER.
WELCOME TO "LIVING808".
ALOHA.
Mikey: CARLA, I WANT TO GET
TO KNOW A LITTLE BIT BEHIND YOUR
BACKGROUND IN THE FILM INDUSTRY
AND HOW YOU GOT STARTED.
I GOT STARTED BACK IN THE '90 SOUTH DAKOTA.
-- '90.
AND I WAS DEPARTMENT HEAD OF
"GIRLFRIENDS."
AND THAT SET MY CAREER OFF.
Mikey: STACEY, SAME
QUESTION.
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THE
FILM INDUSTRY?
I STARTED OFF BACK IN THE DAY
IF YOU REMEMBER THAT HIGH ICON
YOU CAN FLAT TOP ON KID.
THAT LED ME TO DOING FILMS
BECAUSE THEY DID ASKI "HOUSE PARTY."
BIGGER STARS, AND I ENDED UP
WORKING WITH EDDIE MURPHY.
Mikey: CARLA, WHERE DID YOU
DRAW INSPIRATION FOR THAT HAIR?
AFRO CENTRIC.
THAT WAS MY BIGGEST
MOTIVATION.
AND THE THINGS THAT WE DON'T
NORMALLY SEE ON FILM, I WANTED
TO DO IT FOR THE CULTURE TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW THAT WE ARE REGAL,
WE'RE BEAUTIFUL AND THAT I
WANTED THIS TO BE A CELEBRATION.
QUESTION IS FOR YOU.
PERSONAL BARBER.
YOU WORKED WITH DREAM GIRLS AND
SO MUCH MORE.
HOW WAS WORKING WITH EDDIE
WORKING ON "COMING 2 AMERICA"
DIFFERENT?
WAS IT MORE CHALLENGING?
EASIER?
TO WORK ON THIS FILM, WOW,
I'M WORKING ON A CLASSIC FILM
THAT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER
CLASSIC.
I GOT TO LOOK AT AND SEE THOSE
CHARACTERS BEING MADE FROM THE
BARBERSHOP AND THE FACT THAT I
GREW MEN'S HAIR IN THAT
BARBERSHOP SCENE WAS SO BIG.
IT WAS LIKE, WOW.
YOU KNOW.
Mikey: YOU GUYS MADE THE 20
20 -- 2020 SHORT LIST ON LAST
YEAR'S OS COWERS.
COWER -- OSCARS.
DID YOU THINK THIS IS WHERE YOU
WOULD BE IN YOUR CAREER?
TO BE ON THE SHORT LIST FOR THE
OSCARS?
THE PROCESS.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE SHORT
WE DID IT OUT OF LOVE, AND WE
BOTH GREW UP IN THE '70 SOUTH '70 --
TO DO THAT MOVIE AND THEN AFTER
SEEING AND PEOPLE ARE SO
IMPRESSED BY THE WORK, WE WERE
I DID NOT EXPECT IT.
Mikey: STACEY, YOU HAVE
"COMING 2 AMERICA" WAS GOING TO
BE FILMED WHERE?
ORIGINALLY WE WERE SUPPOSED
TO FILM IN HAWAI'I.
WE WERE EXCITED.
THAT WAS A BUMMER.
WE WANT TO ATLANTA INSTEAD.
[LAUGHTER]
Mikey: HOPEFULLY YOUR NEXT
PROJECT WILL BRING YOU TO THE
ISLANDS AND HOPEFULLY YOU AND I
AND ALL OF US CAN RECONNECT.
ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE HERE,
CONGRATULATIONS AND ALOHA.
ALOHA.
THANK YOU.
John: VERY COOL, MI MIKEY BOY.
GREAT SORRY.
I -- STORY.>> SUPPOSED TO BE FILMED IN
HAWAI'I.
CAMERA AND THESE WERE SO
EXCITED.
CARLA AND STACEY WERE SAYING
THEY PACKED THEIR BATHING SUITS
AND COVID HATCHE -- HAPPENED AND
THEY HAD TO STAY IN ATLANTA.
ATLANTA IS BEAUTIFUL IN ITS OWN
RIGHT AND MOVIE CAME OUT GREAT.
John: THANK YOU FOR TALKING

THE STARRED.
Mikey: LOOKS ARE AMAZING.
John: TIME TO TALKS ABOUT
KIDS.
