I have the video, F. Scott Fitgerald's "Bernice Bobs Her Hair". Shelley Duvall goes from very long to 1920's short. Has a very interesting twist at the end.

I saw that movie the ending is very good. Whe she bobs her hair they show some of the hair cut, her hair was very long, a bunch of her guy friends and one girl friend went to watch her cut her hair at a barber shop. I don't want to ruin it for people who may like to watch it so I to won't saw what happens in the end.

Hi
IIRC Phoebe Cates cut her own hair (long to short,
on screen) on "Drop Dead ...".

On "Water Rats" (Australian TV Series), one of the
policewomen got a cancer and lost all her hair.
because of chemotherapy.
The beautiful actress shaved all her hair for the role.

I read the original of "Bernice Bobs her
Hair" way back when I was 15. And I too
won't reveal the ending, it's a bit macabre.

Phoebe Cates looks good with long hair.

In "The Scarlet Pimpernel", attractive
actress Elizabeth McGovern's character,
Lady Blakeney, narrowly escapes going to
the guillotine. Her hair is cut before she
goes (long hair was cut, rather than just
put up, so it wouldn't slow down the blade
or what have you), in a bob that looks all
too professional (when Queen Marie
Antoinette went, her hair was coarsely
hacked off).

Jane Seymour is one of those people who
should just avoid cutting their hair. I'm
glad it was a cap, but the thought of her
bald...yikes.

In The Sex Pistol's "The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle" Cat Woman goes from fairly average looking girl to buzzed across the top with "cat ears" on the sides.

Jean Tripplehorn gets chopped in Waterworld.

There's a movie called FM where a woman goes to her stylist to get a trim and her hairdresser, mid-cut, discovers she's having an affair with his lover. He does a drastic chop to her hair.

I'm sure there's more.
Peace to all

This girl's name is Franka Potente. Not a great makeover, though. So she shaved her head after finishing that movie.

Good catch on "Serial" rather than "FM."
It was a Martin Mull movie, I was confused.
IMDB is a blessing, isn't it?

Holly Hunter gets a slightly different 'do at the end of "Broadcast News." Nothing major, so it doesn't qualify.

Do you remember "Up Close and Personal" with Michelle Pfeiffer from 1996? Her makeover is not so drastic but remarkable as a part of the story. She cuts her long blonde hair and becomes brunette with bouffant/helmet do.

Michelle also got a makeover in "Married To The Mob."
Not drastic, but shorter and curlier.

Has anyone mentioned the drunk girl at the house party in Sixteen Candles (with Molly Ringwald). The victim is a popular blonde who gets her hair stuck in the door. I can't remember if she cut it herself or someone else did it. The end result was a wig, but the cut was drastic and effective.

Good one gord. The girls name was Havilland Morris. She got it stuck in the door, and it was cut free by another girl with a very large pair of shears that made a huge crunching noise. She most recently was on One Life to Live in a bit part as a hospital nurse administrator named Claire. She had a very red chin bob. I think she's already left the show. She was also in Home Alone 3 a few years back. The hair scene was very memorable in that movie, but does anyone else remember the shower scene with her as well? Yowsa!!
We all know what opinions are like...and I've got both!

Her boyfriend, whose name I cannot recall (he looked like a Cory, Taylor, Carson, Zach, et al), locked the door and wouldn't let her in or her hair out.

his name was ''jake'' if i remember correctly. i would at least try to tell him my hair is stuck in the door. she didn't. she told her friends she was stuck. the problem with me and some movies is i think to logically some parts of movies your not suppose to notice

Christine Taylor (Ben Stiller's Wife) hairstyle on "Friends":

http://members.tripod.com/~llwyd/willing/friends.htm

There is a hairstyle continuity problem on "Wizard of Oz"
(see general discussion).

Is there any other hairstyle continuity problems in Movie / TV Series?
