Cherie Huffman
Journeyman Hair Stylist 
(03/24/1937- 11/26/2022)

Cherie began her career as a Hollywood hair stylist in December 1960.  She had worked with some of the most famous people of our time, including Jerry Lewis, John Wayne, Peggy Lee, Ann Margret, Liza Minelli, Diana Ross and many, many more.

She was nominated for an Emmy for hairstyling several times, and received a Primetime Emmy award in 1993-1994 for Individual Achievement in Hairstyling for the Series,“Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman”.

She worked on several other large television productions,“Dynasty”, “Head of the Class”, “Demolition Man” and “Blinko” to name a few.  

In May of 1998, Cherie retired and took her Honorable Withdrawal in August of 1999.  

She published a book, Fondling Follicles of the Rich and Famous, and as said by Cherie in the opening of her book, "If you think I'm a name dropper, well I am but this was my life. So put on your boots and follow through the path I lived and loved. I was lucky enough to be in the business when it was still mysterious and glamorous." It tells the stories of her experiences as a hairdresser. The book is still available on Amazon, and a copy is also held at the Television Academy in North Hollywood.

Cherie passed on November 26th of 2022 after a short illness.  She had a memorial for family at Eternal Hills Memorial Park in Oceanside, CA on December 8, 2022.  Our deepest condolences to her husband Bill Huffman, and her step daughter Susan.
