I think that instead of giving Keira Knightley grief over her hair cut we should be praising her.

When she cut off her hair it granted her access to the most elite of clubs an actress can belong and that is the club of actresses who have cut their hair short for a film role.

This club includes the following:-

Demi Moore - GI Jane
Gwenneth Paltrow - Sliding Doors
Sarah Michelle Gellar - I Know What You Did Last Summer
Cate Blanchett - Heaven
Robin Turney - Empire Records

If anyone can think of any other actresses then feel free to add them to the list.

Yours

It's not really an elite club-most actresses will end up cutting their hair for a role at some point in their career.

Actually most actresses don't cut their hair short due to the fact that it can take a while to grow out short hair.

They mostly rely on short wigs rather than actual cuts to make them have short hair. Maybe they are just too scared to go short for real.

If what you say is true then why hasnt Nicole Kidman gone short for her newest film rather than wearing a wig?

Really obscure...

Natassia Kinski - "One From The Heart"

And Kim Basinger cut her hair for some Blake Edwards movie with I think Burt Reynolds about 20 years ago.....

Not really true.

"If what you say is true then why hasnt Nicole Kidman gone short for her newest film rather than wearing a wig?"

I didn't say all actresses for every role. Catherine Zeta Jones, for example, always seems to go for the wig.

But since you don't believe me, here's the laundry list, just off the top of my head. And these are women, incidentally, I've seen mention they cut their hair for the role.

Sandra Bullock- Demolition Man
Kim Basinger- LA Confindential
Janine Turner- Nothern Exposure
Julia Roberts- The Mexican
Melanie Griffith- Working Girl
Annete Benning- In Dreams
Reese Witherspoon- Sweet Home Alabama
Jill Hennesey- Law and Order
Geena Davis- The Long Kiss Goodnight
Kim Cattral- Sex and The City
Emma Thompson- Wit
Penelope Cruz- Gothika
Neve Campbell- Scream 2
Mariska Hargitay- L&O SVU
Natlie Portman- The Professional
Liv Tyler- Cookie's Fortune
Connie Nielsen- Basic
Michelle Pfieffer- Dangerous Minds
Rosario Dawson- Sin City
Toni Collete-Eight and a half women(possibly the wrong title)
Joan Chen- Temptation of a Monk
Angelina Jolie- Gia
Angie Everhart- Some b movie
Hilary S****- Boys Don't Cry
Linda Cardellini- Scooby Doo(her real hair in the first, a wig in the second)
Jennifer Jason Leigh-Single White Female
Mary Stuart Masterson- Some kind of Wonderful
Carrie Ann Moss- The Matrix
Phoebe Cates- Drop Dead Fred

So yeah, I stand by my previous statement.

She cut it. It's why her hair is shorter in Buffy season two.

I don't think Gwenneth Paltrow cut her hair for that movie, have you seen her with short hair since then ? How about Kate Beckinsale and Clair Danes in Broken Down Palace. Jennifer Love Hewitt cut her hair to chin lenght for a movie, the name I can't think of at the moment, I don't know if its been released yet.

Gywneth did, she mentioned how Brad Pitt held her hand while she did it. Plus you can see her growing out hair in A Perfect Murder.

I do believe they broke up shortly after she cut her hair.

I stand corrected. I think thats her best haircut ever to date, to bad she didn't keep it short. Now she is plain and borning and its just to long.
