  1. > “So, you know the character that has all that acne? That was just my acne from the prosthetics,” Qualley said. “And I was like, ‘Oh this is kind of perfect. I’m playing all these different characters. For one of them, we’ll use all my crazy prosthetic acne.’ It took me probably a year to recover physically from all of it.”

  2. What are the common issues that facial prosthetics cause, and how can they be mitigated/eliminated?

  3. I’m mean I was so willing to help her in her time of need. She should’ve suffered like that without proper care. Which I would have fully helped that poor girl. But nobody reached out.
