## Resource

From diva egos to FBI training videos, the entertainment industry is a recipe for stress—but Melissa Street navigated it with 8 Emmy Awards and absolute grace. This week on The FxCK YOU 50s, we are joined by retired Film and Television Makeup Artist Melissa Street. With over 35 years of experience, Melissa shares the highs and lows of her incredible career—including the intense stress of the job, the unique world of special FX, and the emotional toll of losing an A-list client who became a close friend. As a stroke survivor, Melissa also opens up about her personal health journey, touching on menopause, high blood pressure, and the crucial importance of self-care for women over 50. Plus, she breaks down how the industry has changed, tackles ageism head-on, and explains why we need to throw out the TikTok trend rulebook.
