Radical hair changes in the movies

Does it have to be an instance where the actress really changed/cut her hair? Or can it be an instance where the character "cuts" or otherwise drastically changes her hair? I can think of 4 movies in which a main character drastically alters her hair... Remember Julia Robert's character Shelby in Steel Magnolia's. She had gorgeous long flowing auburn hair and then the character cut it into a short style which was very unattractive in my opinion and obviously a wig. The 2nd instance I can think of was Charlize Theron's character in The Devil's Advocate. She had hair that was approximately shoulder length and when her character moved to NYC, she got it cut. I think Charlize generally keeps her hair short (which looks wonderful on her - she's so beautiful) and the shoulder length style was probably extensions or hairpieces. The 3rd movie I can think of is The Nun's Story starring Audrey Hepburn in which her character Sister Luke had her lock's sheared at some point in her novitiate (I think that's what they call it when one is becoming a nun). The 4th movie I can think of is Alison Lohman's character (she played the daughter) in White Oleander. She cut her long gorgeous locks herself while in a juvenile center - it was obviously a wig and looked really horrible but that was the character's intent. I'm trying to think of an instance where a male character's hair was changed drastically but I'm stumped at the moment.

How about Audrey Hepburn in "Sabrina" and Julia Ormond in the remake.

Totally off topic:
Lyris, I notice you changed your quote. I lOVE the new quote by the way!! Where did you hear it? OR did you come up with it? I'm writing that down!

I like so much the radical change of Lori Singer in the movie "The Last Ride" (Also know as F.T.W). She cut her very long blonde hair short and dye it brown.

There's a big list of haircut scenes in movies and books at:

Has everyone forgotten about Gwyneth Paltrow in Sliding Doors. She goes from long shoulder length hair to a short cute bob type cut. Great cut i think,

That was Gwens best look ever.

Anyone remember Carla Gugino from son-in-law? Anyone know if that was her real hair or a wig?
What about Haviland Morris from the movie Sixteen Candles? Stuck in a door, and they cut it out for her?
I also recall a clip on the Arsenio Hall show, showing Maria Conchita Alonso cutting her very long hair to a short pixie for the movie predator 2. Anyone got that on tape?
How about Julie Christie gettin her hair cut by warren beatty in that one movie, can't remember the name. Anyone help me on this one? Thanks

1. Cate Blanchett shaved her head (shoulder lenght hair)- onscreen - in "Heaven"
2. Toni Colette shaved her head (short hair) - onscreen - in "8 1/2 Women"
3. Peta Wilson did a selfcut in "Nikita"
4. Julianne Nicholson buzzed her hair - offscreen -in "The Love Letter"
5. Suzy Amis cut her fantastic long hair - onscreen -- in "The Ballad of Little Jo"

But Demi's shave is undoubtely the most radical.

Thanks, Clownboots! After see the name of the movie "License to Kill" in your list I decided to watch to the movie to see the transformation of Carey Lowell. In spite of her "before" hair not being exactly long, I was amazed. Carey with her very short hair is something near to the perfection in beauty for me. It's a "must see" for every short hair lover. Wonderful!!!

This topic reminds me of a movie. "Haut les Coeurs" from Islandic director Solveigh Anspach (don't know how it translates), in which French actress Karin Viard has her head shaved at the salon - she's playing the role of a woman struck by cancer. A very moving film, not only because of this scene....

She has very short hair before the cut, but still you can speak of a radical change...
