Stana Katic--short for "Castle"?

Ms. Katic, who stars in ABC's "Castle",  has a short, layered cut  in the show's first episodes.  It's a little too long and full to be called a pixie, but it's definitely short and very flattering. 

From pix on Getty, it looks as though she went short in Oct. 2008; before that, her hair was much longer, about mid-back.  Long hair was very pretty, but she wore it in the ubiquitous center-parted winged style to which virtually every long-haired celebrity has fallen victim at one time or another.  That style is right up there with the alien plant life throat grabbing style --http://talk.hairboutique.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=63247-- which, as Curlyfan put it, at one time or another took over the head of every female news personality on the planet. 

I'm speculating that she cut her hair for the role--timing is about right.  Longer hair would not fit with her no-nonsense character on the show.  (I stress that I have absolutely nothing to confirm this.) 

Check the show's website for better pix--it's a little shorter than the last pix on Getty.

Since getting it cut, she also has worn it in a very curly style.  I think she would probably look great in long hair in another style, but the current shorter 'do on "Castle" is the best IMO.

Not good. Her short cut on Castle was a lot better.

She looks nice in the first pic

I didn't recognize her with the long hair.  It looks good. Most people are probably used to her having short hair, she seems to make it work.

Short suits her more.Just my opinion though:)
