Little Lilliana loses her mother in a tragic accident and her father marries the apparently beautiful Claudia Hoffman (Sigourney Weaver). But all is not as it seems Claudia (especially not Claudia’s wardrobe) As Lilliana grows up Claudia definitely does not like the competition in the beauty stakes in this dark adaptation of the tale which IMDb describes as grimmer than Grimm.
Sigourney Weaver underwent a heavy prosthetic makeup to become the old crone with the lovely red apple. Claudias true, aged face is also revealed.
Nick Dudman designed the prosthetic makeup effects; Anne Brodie was key makeup artist; Linda DeVetta was Sigourney Weaver’s makeup artist; Michelle Taylor was makeup effects artist. Sigourney’s teeth were by FangsFX.
