I looked for a previous post on this board but could not find one regarding Rachel after I saw Matrix Revolutions this past weekend. I also searched the web and could only find this on the official Matrix website (it's an interview with the head hairstylist for the movie): MATRIX: Have their been any extreme changes in hair from the natural state to the character state? JUDITH: Rachel Blackman who plays Charra came to us a few months ago with hair on her shoulders. They’ve been training her, and she has been working out, so we have been talking about her ‘do, and all of a sudden it was decided that her hair was going to be cut really short. I started cutting it short, and it got shorter and shorter, and every time we’d go to show Andy and Larry they would ask for it to be a little shorter. So this poor girl who had hair on her shoulders is now running around town with what we call a number 2 blade haircut. She’s totally faded up on the sides and she has quarter inch hair on top. It’s a really tough one for her to feel comfortable in… we’ve done a lot of people who wear hats around town. The hairstyle made quite a change in her character, and she’s beautiful girl with a great face and great eyes, so it looks good on her, but it’s tough to make that big a change in yourself. I thought she looked great in the movie but would love to see some before and after photos. ------------- HAWG |

http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rv_cmp/rv_bios_blackman.html - http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rv_cmp/rv_bios_blackman.html There is a long-standing tenet for actors and that's do whatever they ask of you in a role. Most women wouldn't agree with doing this, but the odds are so far against an actress landing a part. Now when an actress like Miss Blackman has no screen credits and lands a part in one of the biggest motion pictures of the year, she should thank her lucky stars. And if the directors think this is what works, they're probably right. ------------- |

I'm not really up on The Matrix but is it correct that this chick's hair is always short in the movie? I ran a search on her on-line and didn't come up with any acting credits other than the second and third Matrix movies. So I don't think we'll get a chance to see any before and after shots. The picture on the Matrix website appears to have been taken when she still had hair though. I haven't seen any pictures of her from in the movie though. Does anyone have any links for that? ------------- |
