The new Netflix biopic "Moria," chronicling the life of Argentine entertainment legend Moria Casán, has quickly become the most-viewed series in Argentina just a week after its premiere. The eight-episode series delves into "La One's" 80 years, from her cabaret beginnings to her relationships, her bond with daughter Sofía Gala Castiglione, and her memorable television catchphrases.
No! The albinos!
One particular scene, featuring Casán and Susana Giménez, has gone viral on social media. The encounter takes place in the salon of Miguel Romano, a renowned hairstylist who has worked with both divas for years. In the clip, Giménez, portrayed by Leticia Brédice, and Casán, played by Griselda Siciliani, discuss Giménez's daughter's play premiere and their past adventures as the famous "blonde and brunette" duo.
You're a son of a bitch. They shave them there, I'm dying! They come out bald!
The viral moment occurs when a group of blonde women enter the salon. Casán exclaims, "No! The albinos!" and jokes that they are about to be shaved, causing Giménez to laugh. This exchange has reignited public curiosity about Giménez's distinctive blonde hair, a trademark that has been a subject of speculation for years.
Susana has extensions from albino girls. The kilo of hair costs between $2,000 and $3,000. You have to look for it well, because you have to find the same type of hair as the client and her same color.
While Giménez has never publicly addressed the rumors, her former hairdresser, Miguel Romano, revealed the secret in 2012: her extensions are made from the hair of albino women. He stated that the hair costs between $2,000 and $3,000 per kilogram and requires careful sourcing to match the client's texture and color. Paola Romano, Miguel's daughter, confirmed in 2019 that albino women with waist-length hair would visit the salon to have it cut for extensions.
It's true that the albinos come, it was a year ago the last time: they let their hair grow to their waist. Their parents bring them and we give them a garçonne cut, so as to use the largest amount of hair.
