* Each strand of hair is inserted individually, taking approximately five weeks to complete each head.

* Two maintenance teams inspect and primp each figure daily before the attraction opens.

* To add authenticity to the figures at Madame Tussauds New York, many artifacts have been donated from the celebrity or purchased from auctions. Joan Rivers & Ivana Trump even donated their personal nail polish.

* All figures have their hair washed and make-up retouched regularly.

* From the first private sitting with a celebrity to completion, it takes approximately four months to create a figure.

* All celebrities' vital statistics are kept confidential - despite repeated requests from the public and media.

* Because wax shrinks, wax figures are made two percent larger than the real life subjects they portray.

* Red silk thread is used to create the veins on each eyeball.

* Knotted rope is used to create the look of veins on the bodies.

* Each figure costs approximately $125,000 to make.
