the perfect umbrella

just got an email from the woman (mother of an actor) who's bringing the cat...this is in response to the costume designer asking if he could dye his hair dark for the role.

We have 6-A and 5-N, they look black on his hair...please tell the costume designer though that he does NOT look good with these colors; they look pretty bad because of his paler skin. It's ammonia--free which is the most important thing for his hair.

p.s. - He will need to hold an umbrella over himself the entire time except when actually shooting. Please order a UVA/UVB umbrella to block him from the sun. We don't have any room in the car and we will not receive it on time before we leave either. Here's the perfect umbrella for him. http://www.amazon.com/Doctor-Recommended-Umbrellas-Rating-protection/product-reviews/B002XI4H0Q/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1 ...Also, please use a stand-in when blocking scenes of course.

He has 'infant-like" skin now that is not supposed to be exposed to any sun. He will have 100 SPF sunscreen on, but he really need to be kept in the shade. Hopefully, the director is not shooting in too much direct sunlight [it's a movie about tennis] or at least using those white canopy tarps when shooting...It's very easy, he just constantly holds the umbrella over him until they start rolling film.
