Even Without the Prosthetic Nose, "Cyrano" Is a Master Class in 17th-Century Beauty

"Every single hairstyle that I created for Roxanne was choreographed around her story arch," Miller says, adding that a big moment for this was a particular montage featuring Roxanne with her letters from Christian. "All Joe wanted for the hair was it not to be contained or overfussed," Miller says. "We allowed it to tumble as she tumbles; as the letters fall, she falls."

Another big hair moment was the "I Need More" sequence when Christian — spoiler alert — isn't as articulate in person as he is in his letters to Roxanne. She becomes frustrated and literally pulls her hair out. Miller constructed her hairstyle to be torn apart, so Bennett could show how furious she was.
