While portraying the character of Pepper in the acclaimed series “American Horror Story,” Naomi Grossman takes on a role that may not be conventionally attractive. However, in real life, the actress exudes a completely different appearance.
To authentically portray Pepper, a character afflicted with microcephaly, Grossman underwent a transformative process. She bravely shaved her head and dedicated hours to the meticulous application of elaborate makeup. According to The Voice, this intricate process would take anywhere from two to three hours each day.Prior to her notable role in “American Horror Story,” Grossman had already made appearances in television series such as “Sabrina the Little Witch” and “The Mystery of Father Dowling.” Additionally, she had showcased her talent in various short films. However, it was through her portrayal in “American Horror Story” that she gained widespread recognition.Interestingly, without the transformative makeup, Grossman’s natural appearance is strikingly different, to the extent that many passionate fans of the series might not even recognize her if they were to encounter her on the street.
