[PHONE RINGING]
00:03
Hello?
00:03
Hi, it's Griselda.
00:05
I need a favor.
00:05
[MUSIC PLAYING]
00:08
There are so many nuances to explore
00:10
in terms of who she was--
00:11
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
00:14
--as a woman, as a mother, and of course,
00:17
as a drug lord who created one of the most profitable cartels
00:22
in history.
00:23
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
00:25
[MUSIC PLAYING]
00:35
Sofia is Colombian.
00:37
I'm Colombian.
00:37
So that was one of the aspects I love about working with her,
00:41
having the opportunity to work with her,
00:43
because she was redefining her work as an artist.
00:45
And it was my job to gain her confidence.
00:47
[SCREAMING]
00:50
Griselda Blanco is one of the great stories
00:53
in the narcotics trade.
00:55
A self-made woman coming out of such a male-dominated culture.
00:59
She's always trying to make it in her own way,
01:02
but the rug is always pulled under her,
01:04
and she has to start from scratch.
01:05
This is a superhuman feat that Griselda
01:08
pulls off to be able to navigate this world.
01:10
And we see that seeping into who she is.
01:12
She was not as famous as someone like Pablo Escobar,
01:16
but even he was scared of her at the time.
01:18
She stood on her own.
01:19
We're going to make the big money for ourselves,
01:22
for our families, and keep what is fucking ours.
01:25
[SCREAMING]
01:28
Her physical transformation.
01:29
That was one of the toughest aspects of the whole show.
01:31
What we decided was that she had to be different than Sofia,
01:35
but we shouldn't imitate Griselda Blanco.
01:37
Particularly at the expense of performance.
01:40
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
01:43
And she sat in makeup every day for hours.
01:46
She was in every scene.
01:47
It was in Miami in the '70s and the '80s.
01:50
Getting the look correct was very important to me.
01:53
Some of these clothes are just absolutely incredible.
01:55
The grittiness and yet colorfulness of Miami.
01:58
I cannot stress enough how incredible the job
02:02
that our department heads have done just bringing that to life.
02:05
I had an incredible hair and makeup design team.
02:08
It's a really complicated show.
02:09
It's got so many moving parts.
02:12
We have five wigs, different time periods,
02:14
like 1978, 1983.
02:17
Her posture has been changed, the way she holds her hands.
02:21
One of Sofia's signature features
02:23
are her beautiful eyebrows.
02:24
So she wanted to have that sort of tweezed out late '70s look.
02:28
She's wearing prosthetic eyebrow covers,
02:31
and then false eyebrows that are glued on, and then a nose,
02:34
and a plate of teeth, slightly bucked.
02:36
And we yellow out her bottom teeth even a bit more
02:39
because she smokes.
02:42
All the way through the show.
02:43
[SCREAMING]
02:45
I needed to disappear.
02:49
It's no longer the actor.
02:50
No one ever saw her on set as Sofia by the time
02:53
she left her makeup trailer.
02:54
She was Griselda.
02:56
And that's why Sofia is so perfect.
02:58
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:00
People are attracted to how she carried herself.
03:02
And that's a huge connecting point between her and Sofia.
03:05
We want the essence of Griselda.
03:07
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:10
It has a specific feel, a specific identity.
03:15
It has an integrity.
03:16
The truth is, as much as Griselda broke down barriers,
03:20
she's definitely not a hero.
03:23
That was a concern of ours.
03:24
How are we going to make an audience feel for a woman who
03:27
is so downright despicable?
03:29
It is not about a glamorous life.
03:32
No!
03:34
It was often bloody and terrifying.
03:38
And in the world she came from, she
03:40
did what she knew how to do.
