Deven MacNair gets candid about her grueling battle against "wigging" and "blackfacing" in the stunt industry

Deven MacNair is hoping to bring a lot more awareness and change to the industry's socially accepted malpractises of wigging and blackfacing.

Deven MacNair is a renowned stuntwoman who is working hard to bring the #MeToo movement to the Hollywood stunt community and industry. She has been making headlines for her sex-discrimination lawsuit in the first official legal challenge against the practice of 'wigging.' 

'Wigging' is a process which involves sidelining stuntwomen while stuntmen put on wigs and dresses so that they can double for actresses. This bizarre scenario is very common in the industry and is widely accepted, something which Deven is dead against and disgusted by.
