Theatrical wig maker Annette Miles left the bright lights of London's theatre scene in 1982 to travel. Landing in Sydney, she quickly found work in stage and film, crafting a reputation as one of the best. She is currently (2006) working on the "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" stage show.
"In the early days I worked from home alone doing small productions in theatre and some television. I later took big productions and 20 staff, premises and we got very busy. The business was named 3am Wigs for good reason," Miles jokes. She began studying at the London College of Fashion in an introductory fashion course that incorporated make-up and hair science. Wig making was a specialist field within the wider, artistic studies program. Miles became a key hair stylist and wig designer who entered Australian film as an assistant hair stylist on John Duigan's WIDE SARGASSO SEA (1993). Her other film credits include ME MYSELF I (1999), SERENADES (2001), PETER PAN (2003), STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH, and THE PAINTED VEIL (2006).
