Bonnie Clevering has spent over five decades styling Hollywood’s biggest stars, from Julia Roberts and Hilary Swank to Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, and Jennifer Lopez.
Her artistry has graced over 100 films, including Erin Brockovich, Ocean’s 11, The Black Dahlia, Breaking Dawn, and The Santa Clause. Beyond the hair, Bonnie captured thousands of behind-the-scenes continuity photos that became the foundation for her memoir and photo collection, Continuity. In this conversation, Bonnie reflects on her remarkable journey, the Rat Pack to the new Brat Pack, Elvis pranks, Julia Roberts’ favorite recipes, and what it means to preserve Hollywood history through stories and snapshots.
Episode Highlights:
- The path from union apprentice to hairstylist for Hollywood’s elite
- Priceless stories of working with Elvis Presley and Nancy Sinatra
- The hidden art of continuity and why it matters on set
