Danny Devito is apparently the type of man who will follow the opportunities as they arise. Or, in this case, as they pass away. And that's how he ended up styling hair for dead people.
"My sister had a very particular kind of clientele," Devito recalled while sitting down for a chat on Lopez Tonight in October 2010. While she did have some young clients, the actor explained that there were also "the old ladies who lived down the [Jersey] Shore" where they were from. And when these older ladies passed away, they wanted "to have a nice hairdo." That's were DeVito came in.
"I used to go in there, you know, the mortuary," DeVito explained before briefly stopping to acknowledge that "it's a little morbid, but you've seen Six Feet Under and all these shows." True enough. He then continued, "Anyway, there she would be, it was only women's hair I did, and it was usually [a] really old lady."
While that may sound sad, DeVito did note, "She didn't talk back. She didn't say, 'Oh, I don't like the way that hair's curled.'" That's certainly one way to put a positive spin on an unusual situation.
