She Almost Burned Elvis Alive!

from Make Your Day Richer · host Richard Wilmore

Bonnie Clevering, legendary Hollywood hairstylist and author of "Continuity" is here! With a career spanning over 50 years and more than 120 film and television projects, Bonnie shares stories from her time at MGM Studios, her work with icons like Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Al Pacino, and even Elvis Presley, and the meticulous art of maintaining continuity on set. Bonnie opens up about her journey from Florida to Hollywood, the challenges of breaking into the union, and the creative spark that fueled her career. She recounts unforgettable moments—like nearly singeing Elvis’s famous pompadour and attending Priscilla Presley’s baby shower—that reveal the human side of life behind the camera. Her book "Continuity" explores not only the technical demands of hairstyling for film but also the deeper theme of continuity in life itself. Now at 84, Bonnie reflects on her legacy, her joy in seeing readers embrace her memoir, and her exciting new chapter as a film producer. Stay tuned until the end for a playful game of Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow—where Bonnie proves that even Hollywood legends love a good laugh.
