Octavia Spencer Teases Ma 2, Reveals Tootie Inspired Hair from Film

Octavia Spencer was down to clown in the annals of pop culture history when it came to crafting her iconic Ma wig, while also providing an exciting new update on the heavily anticipated sequel Ma 2.

After director Tate Taylor exclusively revealed to Entertainment Weekly that he had an idea for a sequel, Spencer offered a tease about what fans can expect from the affectionately meme’d modern camp-horror classic’s upcoming sequel.

“We are working hard on getting a great script out. [Production company] Blumhouse is the best at what they do. It’s going to be chock-full of surprises,” the Academy Award winning actress told Entertainment Tonight earlier in July.




She also confirmed long-standing speculation that Kim Fields’ Tootie from "The Facts of Life" sitcom — which aired from late 1979 to 1988 — directly inspired Ma’s iconic wig from the first film.

“I’m surprised every time I see anybody don [the wig],” Spencer said in response to a question about how she felt when Regina Hall spoofed her Ma character in the most recent Scary Movie satire film.

She continued, “People don’t even know that that hair was from Kim Fields’ character, Tootie, from The Facts of Life, because that would’ve been Ma’s influence. So, Kim Fields, Tootie!”

I was like......."I never seen Miko before and noticed how hot she was" lol Different strokes had a similar ep but only difference was the DS cast was no longer seen after the first 5 mins

Not sure why my local station always skipped this episode when the FOL cast was in the entire ep ]]> The Facts of Life TVFactFan https://sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=514374
