What could powerful Marvel villain Hela from Thor: Ragnarok and (some might say equally powerful) Phyllis Schlafly possibly have in common? Well, both were played masterfully by iconic thespian Cate Blanchett and both were expertly created with the artistry of makeup artist, visionary, and BAFTA winner, Morag Ross.  Listen as we discuss just a few of Morag's incredible looks, her career, and, as always, so...  much...  more!
