Nikki Blonsky | Make-up Artist

Who could forget the iconic musical film Hairspray? It starred Nikki Blonsky alongside High School Musical Zac Efron. The huge success of the movie was thought to be Blonsky’s ticket to Hollywood stardom. However, things did not go as planned for the actress. After having two more acting projects, Blonsky was not able to get more promising roles. This led her to do normal jobs. She worked as a make-up artist to pay her electricity and rent bills while still pursuing a career in Hollywood.

Blonsky was not ashamed of the path she took and even admitted that she never left Hollywood, it was otherwise. In an interview, she revealed how there were no opportunities given to her after the success of the movie. Despite this, Blonsky balances her normal job and some acting gigs. Her latest acting job is the feature film Ghost in the Graveyard.
