ORLANDO, Fla. – Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has just received new celebrity figures, from Ariana Grande's third version of herself, to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Keeping the celebs red carpet ready, though, is tougher than you'd think.
Samantha Wolf is Madame Tussauds Orlando's Studio Manager. She took us into a green room-like space located backstage at the ICON Park attraction.
She arrives daily about 3 hours before the attraction opens. “In my wildest dreams, I'd always hoped that I'd get paid to do what I love as much as this,” she beamed.
Samantha is responsible for touching up every celebrity wax figure that's on the showroom floor. She pays meticulous attention to maintaining their make-up, lashes, hair placement, wardrobe, to even getting rid of some dust.
“There's not a lot of people in the world that can say they do what I do and it's not lost of me - just how cool my job is.”
Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is located inside The Wheelhouse on International Drive.
