Dalam episode kedua dari “The Big Bang Theory,” berjudul “The Change Constant,” semuanya berubah untuk Sheldon Cooper dan Amy Farrah Fowler-pasangan yang sudah menikah, sains yang dimainkan oleh Jim Parsons dan Mayim Bialik-ketika mereka mengetahui bahwa mereka telah memenangkan Hadiah Nobel dalam Fisika untuk karya bersama mereka di Super Asymmetry. (Juga, setelah tahun literal, lift bangunan mereka diperbaiki.) Setelah melihat foto -foto dirinya secara online yang tidak dia sukai, Amy, dibantu oleh Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar), mendapatkan makeover yang cukup sederhana dan sedikit modern … tapi ternyata, Bialik bukan penggemar berat plotline ini.

Dalam buku 2022 Jessica Radloff “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series“Bialik memberi tahu penulis bahwa dia tidak tahu apakah Amy benar -benar diperlukan Makeover, meskipun dia mengakui bahwa dia mendapat manfaat darinya secara pribadi. “Ini adalah kasus di mana saya tidak tahu bahwa saya setuju dengan penulis kami, tetapi saya juga memiliki keyakinan tertinggi pada mereka, dan itu adalah bagian dari menjadi pemain tim di sebuah pertunjukan,” kata Bialik.

“Saya senang bahwa saya harus mengenakan pakaian yang lebih bagus, dan itu benar -benar menyenangkan untuk memotong rambut saya setelah memiliki hal yang sama [style] selama bertahun -tahun. Itu diluruskan [all those years’, which damaged my hair in ways it may never recover from, which is fine, because now I have short hair and I’ve stopped trying to see if it can ever be healthy again. But honestly, it was so exciting that I didn’t have to wear it straight anymore, and I could have some more character to my hair and my face.”

“So it felt really good that people could see me that way, but in some ways, it did feel like a betrayal of our Amy,” Bialik continued, name-dropping a department store that actually shut down in 2018. “We didn’t go crazy and have her dressing in ways that completely didn’t look like her. She still wore kind of sensible things — like what you’d get at Loehmann’s.” Changing Amy’s appearance was still something Bialik had a major conflict about. “I thought it would be, ‘Let’s dress Amy up and take her out for the night!’ I didn’t think it would be like, ‘Here’s her new normal!” (What Bialik means by that is Amy maintains her “new style” during the Nobel ceremony, though she does add a very personal, very “Amy” touch … a tiara.)

Executive producer and writer Steve Holland also spoke to Jessica Radloff extensively for her book, and while he acknowledged that Mayim didn’t love this storyline, he felt like it made sense for the narrative. “I think this was one of those moments where the story in the script wasn’t exactly the way Mayim had pictured it,” Holland revealed. “We felt that the storyline was really honest, because oftentimes, when people see themselves on TV or in pictures all the time, it can make you really self-conscious. It felt real in a way that we thought was interesting, but I don’t know if Mayim ever completely came to terms with that storyline.” He continued:

“We were honest about where we were coming from and why it was okay that Amy can be complicated and not really care about her appearance that much, but on some level, it was something that we had talked about as writers who are not on camera a lot; you go to things like the Emmys and you start getting pictures taken and it makes you have respect for actors who have to see themselves all the time. You get very self-conscious about things you’ve never thought of before. Like, ‘I don’t care what I look like — I’m wearing a T-shirt and jeans!’ Doesn’t matter. And then I see pictures, and I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I put on a nicer shirt?’ So it felt very human and real to us for Amy.”

Still, as Holland said, Bialik’s disagreement didn’t fully stop her from doing her job as a performer. “But to Mayim’s credit, even though I don’t think she 100 percent agreed, never for a second was she like, ‘Well, I don’t want to do it,'” Holland clarified. “She voiced her opinion and we had a discussion about it, and she was like, ‘Okay, here we go.”

Still, as Steve Holland said, Mayim Bialik did give some feedback about the scene between Raj and Amy where he finds her crying over the “unflattering” shots of her in the bathroom, and he took her quite seriously. In the final version of the scene, Raj does make some light jokes — after telling Amy she’s a beautiful woman, he says, “By the way, if you are not happy with those pictures, then make some changes. Get a haircut, new clothes, new glasses, bigger glasses, no glasses. Then you won’t be able to see those pictures.” Still, he encourages her to tap into her inner beauty and appreciate herself, and it sounds like the original scene might have veered away from that. 

“Also, the scene where [Raj] Menemukan Amy menangis di kamar mandi awalnya memiliki beberapa lelucon di sana yang berbelok di sisi yang berarti, dan Mayim secara akurat menunjukkan hal itu, “Holland mengakui.” Kami seperti, 'Anda benar, itu terlalu kejam. Kami akan memotongnya. ' Terkadang Anda bisa tersesat; Anda berada di ruang penulis, Anda mencoba untuk mendapatkan lelucon, itu mendapat tawa besar, dan kadang -kadang itu bisa membutakan Anda pada kenyataan sampai Anda melihatnya di atas panggung. Kami mencoba untuk menjadi perlindungan yang baik untuk itu dan para pemeran, yang juga benar -benar melindungi karakter mereka, sebagaimana mestinya. “Jelas, semuanya berhasil pada akhirnya … dan setidaknya Bialik benar -benar menyukai potongan rambutnya, bahkan jika Dia juga kemudian mengakui bahwa dia bahkan tidak terlalu suka menonton pertunjukan itu.
