Tracey Takes On... |
The special, which was originally conceived as a pilot for a possible series,[1] spotlights just one of Ullman's characters – Ruby Romaine, a Hollywood makeup artist in her seventies. Ruby recounts tales of old and present-day Hollywood as celebrities sit in her makeup chair in the on-set hair and makeup trailer. She also reveals details of her personal life, which includes living with her shell shock Vietnam veteran son Buddy, and their pot-bellied pig, Oinky. The celebrity in Ruby's chair for this special is actress Debbie Reynolds.[2]
The working title for the project was Ruby Romaine, Trailer Trash.[3] This was Ullman's directorial debut (aside from directing second unit during the fourth season of her series Tracey Takes On...).
Septuagenarian Hollywood makeup artist, Ruby Romaine recounts the time she decided to retire and the events that followed, including her decision to return to the business.[4]
