Martina Hill's 25-Year-Old "Larissa" Wig: Revolutionizing Comedy
Martina Hill has relied on 'Larissa' wig brands for a quarter of a century. - Martina Hill has utilized a Larissa wig consistently for a quarter of a century.
In the wild world of entertainment, Martina Hill stands out like a neon sign, thanks to her iconic character, "Larissa." This eccentric persona has been with Martina for a whopping 25 years, as she puts it. Long before "Larissa" gained notoriety, Martina was spotted in packed clubs, donning the signature wig. "I found the look bloody brilliant, and it was a hell of a lot safer than dyeing my hair," Hill revealed in a candid interview with "TV Digital."
These days, slipping into "Larissa" mode is a double-edged sword. "I'd rather avoid donning that wig in public now, considering it makes me more recognizable than a harmless bystander," the 50-year-old confessed. "Larissa" is also famous for her appearances on the satirical show "heute-show," hosted by the charismatic Oliver Welke in Cologne.
This summer, "Larissa" will claim the spotlight - at least for one episode. While Welke takes a well-deserved break, "Larissa" will reportedly host "heute-SHOWnal: Larissa's Summer," a fun-filled extravaganza airing on ZDF at 10:30 PM on June 27. With her signature nasally voice, duck face, bubblegum, and long, flowing wig, "Larissa" is sure to bring the house down!
In an interview with "TV Digital," Hill discussed the intricacies of her role. "Larissa" allows her to say and do things she'd never dare to in her everyday life. "You just can't help but despise her," she explained. "Larissa" is a potent blend of fun, style, and intelligence, using her bubbling, naive persona to uncover complex issues through seemingly foolish questions.
Three hours of Hell for a masterpiece transformation
Transforming into "Larissa" takes some serious commitment, Martina revealed. "It involves three tons of makeup, fake nails, truckloads of jewelry, and copious amounts of bubblegum," she disclosed. The original, 25-year-old long-haired wig, salvaged from a New Year's Eve party, is also an integral part of the character.
Despite "Larissa's" exaggerated appearance, which Martina says is an homage to Gen Z rather than a specific individual, not everyone recognizes her as a fictional character. "I can't believe how many people genuinely believe she's a real person," Hill lamented.
