In the A Coffin For The Bride episode of the TV series Thriller, Mark Walker is a black widower preying on elderly widows. Stella McKenzie (Helen Mirren), an actress hence her skill with makeup, seeks revenge when her sister falls into his clutches . Disguised as an middle-aged plain and plain-speaking but rich widow, she traps him into being convicted of a murder which he did not commit.
The disguise involved a prosthetic nose tip and double chin as well as the wig, glasses and teeth. It looked good and Helen's braying laugh was brilliant. I could even suspend disbelief when he ran his hands through her hair and didn’t notice it was a wig — but sleep with her and miss the fat-suit! I don't know who was responsible for the makeup: if anyone knows please email me.
