“Larry Mathews... earned a reputation as New York's most wide-awake hairdresser by opening …the city's first 24-hour beauty parlor to serve insomniacs, talk-show guests, showgirls and other working women.”
'I'm sort of like a surgeon' he said in an interview with The New York Times in 1976. 'Not looking good is like a cancer. There's a lot of pain in not being beautiful.'

I think he still had that salon when I first moved to NY. It closed in the early 90s.

ReplyDeletePer a 2001 email from Mr. Mathews: "I have worked in post-production in the TV industry for the last 24 years. Starting with Danny Thomas Productions, then onto Witt-Thomas Productions, on Soap and Benson, as well as other shows, in several different capacities. In 1983, I went into post-production facility sales for several places that do film and video tape post. I am currently director of sales at a company called Matchframe Video. We do post on episodic television, and other media-related projects. I also do background voice-overs for episodic TV. I have been married for 14 years."
Larry also made a killing with KREML stock. He is additionally looking to purchase a fledgling beauty salon with little focker beauticians.
Good work, Margaret.
