Agnes Bruckner, who has the perfect B-cup bra size, knew she had to go to a DD-cup to play Anna Nicole Smith for a TV movie Anna Nicole , which screens on Foxtel's Universal Channel on Saturday. And Bruckner did not want to increase her breast size by surgery. But, as the pictures show, she managed to look the part perfectly - through the use of gel-filled silicone falsies. Three-time Academy Award winner Greg Cannom (Mrs Doubtfire (1993), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and Dracula (1992)), created Anna Nicole's convincing prosthetic cleavage which took make-up artists Todd McIntosh and David De Leon three to four hours a day to painstakingly apply. Want a boob job? Read this first "They couldn't have been any more real looking," Bruckner told the New York Post. It was so strange, wearing them for the first time. I was standing there 'topless,' but it was really like I had a shirt on because there was nothing exposed of my own. I'd look at myself, and I kept thinking, 'Oh, my God, could you imagine if they really were that big?' Ideal breasts. Do yours measure up? How Agnes bruckner went from a B-cup to a DD to play Anna Nicole Smith. Todd McIntosh explained how the look of Anna Nicole Smith's breasts were made. "David and I would apply the breasts in tandem," he said. "This created the freedom for them to move and jiggle more like flesh," he explained. It would have been impossible for her to do the pole dancing or fill out some of the outfits without this innovation. McIntosh told the New York Post that the silicone "warms up so that the prosthetics get quite comfortable," before adding that putting them on every day was an ordeal.

Additionally, it took a lot more than prosthetics to bring Anna Nicole Smith back to life. "There's so much hair, so much makeup, fake eyelashes," Bruckner said. I've never done this before, even in my personal life. But it was so much of who she was. Bruckner's makeup routine "took us four hours with three people," McIntosh recalled. The morning started with David doing the beauty look while I prepped the prosthetics. Then David and I would apply the breasts, positioning, blending, then laying in colours. During that process, our third makeup artist, Amber Crowe, would begin the process of covering Agnes' eight tattoos. "Then we would mix and match jobs to finish up," he said. I'd work on tattoos, and David would repair the beauty makeup that had been on for hours already. All the hard work paid off: Bruckner's resemblance to Smith is uncanny. De Leon said it was Anna Nicole's love of the camera that made it possible to take the trip down mammary lane. "I literally had hundreds of photos of Anna Nicole on my iPad that we could reference at any time," he explained, adding he and McIntosh recreated Smith's many looks - from young single mom to voluptuous supermodel to pill-popping, yo-yo-dieting Hollywood casualty - all based on those photos. "We got to do everything," De Leon said. It's really a wonderful opportunity for a makeup artist. Directed by acclaimed American Psycho director Mary Herron, the biopic charts the quick rise and slow but steady fall of the East Texas stripper who became Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993 and then married billionaire oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall, who was 62 years her senior. When he died 15 months later, Smith began a court battle over his estate that would last the rest of her life and go all the way to the US Supreme Court over the hundreds of millions she believed she was due in inheritance. As News Corp Australia TV writer Dianne Butler states the cast is great. Starting with Agnes Brucker as Anna Nicole, the legendary Martin Landau as J. Howard Marshall ... and Cary Elwes as his son, E, Pierce, who stymied Anna Nicole all the way to her early grave and beyond. This covers everything: her days as a stripper, Playboy, her rise then fall as a Guess jeans model, and the sad death of her son, Danny, before she herself died at 39.
