Julia Roberts opens up on her look in Lionsgate Play's Gaslit, calls it 'real team effort'

Julia Roberts and Sean Penn-starrer Gaslit premieres on Lionsgate Play on April 25, 2022. The actress plays Martha Mitchell in the series.

Julia Roberts and Sean Penn-starrer Gaslit, which is a modern-day take on the controversial Watergate scandal, will stream exclusively on Lionsgate Play from April 25. Directed by Matt Ross, the series also features Dan Stevens, Betty Gilpin and Shea Wigham, among others. The series revolves around several untold stories, including Nixon’s bumbling, the opportunistic subordinates, deranged zealots, and the whistleblowers during that era.

Along with an interesting plot, Julia Roberts’ transformation as Martha Mitchell, with the help of prosthetics, has caught everyone's attention. Talking about her spectacular look as Martha Mitchell, Julia Roberts said, "This was a real team effort, and it took a lot of time to create the looks. We had lots of great photos for reference. I think Terrie Owen worked magic with the incredible wigs, Jean Black with the makeup and the appliance I wear inside my mouth, and the great Susie DeSanto, who has an incredible eye and was so true to how we wanted Martha to look. It was a lot of work, but it was incredibly fun to cook it up."

Take a look at Gaslit trailer:

Julia Roberts is quite impressive as a celebrity Arkansan socialite and wife to Nixon’s loyal Campaign Chairman and former Attorney General, John Mitchell, in the Gaslit trailer. The series is set to premiere on Lionsgate Play for Indian viewers.

Next, she will be seen in the upcoming rom-com Ticket To Paradise, opposite George Clooeny. The film was shot in Australia last year and it is scheduled to release in October 2022.
