suit. James’ transformation into ‘90s era Anderson is uncanny in an almost eerie way. The makeup and hair team truly have made James look like a completely different person:

James teased first look images of her transformation into Anderson on her Instagram earlier this month:

James is taking on the role of Anderson in a series that explores the stolen sex tape scandal between her and her then-husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (played by Sebastian Stan). It’s also come with some criticism: On Friday, Courtney Love spoke out on Facebook about how disgusted she was at James taking the role and for the series exploiting a very traumatic incident in her friend Anderson’s life.

She wrote in a since-deleted post, via People: “I find this so f*cking outrageous.When Pam / Tommy sex tape was out / myself @pattyschemel @xmadmx were making a record. And the lone women in many recording studios in LA. Where all / ALL! The staff engineers / producers / owners / were watching the sex tape with huge schadenfraude.. Guffaws, It was disgusting. I banned anyone discussing it.. It destroyed my friend Pamelas life. Utterly.”

She added, “Last week I was asked to approve using a Rolling Stone cover of mine / shot by Mark Seliger in this piece of sh*t/ That they had approved. I said ‘f*ck no.’ shocked. Gentleman don’t approve this sort of thing. My heart goes out to Pammy ♥️♥️ further causing her complex trauma. And shame on Lily James whoever the f*ck she is. #vile.”
