When watching the original video for “Does He Love You,” you may have noticed some dramatic ways Reba McEntire wore her hair or the white turban on her head. Come to find out, her fashionista, Sandi Spika (Borchetta) was covering up a huge bandage on Reba’s forehead.
“Well, before we shot the video, I had to have surgery on my forehead, because I had a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead,” says Reba. “So, to get my schedule lined up with a plastic surgeon and my dermatologist was a miracle, but it happened to be real close to the filming of the ‘Does He Love You’ video. So, if you’ll watch it, you’ll see that Sandi Spika had draped my head with hair which usually goes the other way, hair or scarves, because I huge band-aid on my forehead, so that’s one thing I remember very distinctly. And then looking back at it, it was like I was looking in a mirror because that’s not how I see my hair parted.”
Also, casting Rob Reiner as the director at the end of the video was pretty easy. She was actually shooting the movie North in California and he came in and shot the end scene just for fun. “He did that last bit with us just for fun, and I thought it was great of him to do that.”
The original version and the new revisited version with Dolly Parton is featured on Reba’s new three-part box set, REVISED REMIXED REVISITED.
