BBC Radio 4 Last Word: Carrie White

Carrie White was a hairdresser to the stars who worked on notable clients such as Nancy Reagan, Betsy Bloomingdale, and NFL player Billy Grimes. She faced personal struggles, including addiction and challenging life experiences but eventually recovered and rebuilt her career. White passed away from cancer on May 3, 2022.

I researched her life and booked her daughter, Pitita Alcala, who graciously shared a first-hand insight into her mother’s life on BBC Radio 4's Last Word.
