CHRISTINE GEORGE                                             
Journeyman Hair Stylist (1928 – 2015)

With a firecracker personality, Christine (Widmeyer) George was a hair stylist who began her career in salons, but then learned the trade of film and television hair styling at MGM, Warner Bros., Review Studios, ABC Television and NBC.  She became a member of Local 706 in 1954 and became a Journeyman Hair Stylist in 1960.  Christine (and Debbie's make-up artist brother Bill Reynolds) went on tour with Debbie Reynolds across the country, playing to "smash, sold out houses."  When the review ended, Christine returned to Los Angeles and began working mostly in television.  She worked on Mannix, Barbary Coast, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and Crazy Like a Fox.  Chris also did numerous movies of the week and iconic feature films – Grease, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Diner and Remo Williams:  The Prophecy. 

Christine George retired in 1990, but occasionally kept in touch with the Local.  She moved to Rancho Cucamonga and eventually to Indio, but then we did not hear from her.  It was reported to us just recently that Chris had passed away in 2015.
