Well, when my hair was that long it did too eventually get to be a bit much for me. My wife liked it though.

I never thought the blond Lucille Ball was unattractive.....  But there's no complaint on my part for her going red.................  Sepiatone Deborah Kerr booked herself an appointment in the Hair Salon with her fiery yield for "KING SOLOMON'S MINES" (1950):  |

Created with Andrea Doria in mind... Fading Fast, this post was supposed to include just the once-celebrated mane of "Baby Jane" Holzer, but a photo of Holzer with Edie Sedgwick reminded me of Jean Seberg leaving you breathless, so here are some '60s stripes to go along with a pair of Warhol superstars:   |

As requested, this is a cross-post with the "Is That What You're Wearing Thread," where I extolled the virtues of Jean Seberg's style in "Breathless," with a focus on her Breton-striped outfits. Here, we'll use the same pictures (plus a GIF) to laud her pulling off a daringly short pixie cut.

I was watching the 1949 movie "Impact" yesterday with Ella Raines (sigh) and Brian Donlevy and realized classic Hollywood's two most-striking widow's peak were in the same movie. It was hard to find a good picture of the two together with their widow's peaks in full flourish, but this one isn't bad:

And here they are individually:

Widow's Peak? This guy's was always a good one.   Dang I wish we could resize here. Sepiatone |

Given both the pronounced widow's peak spearheading a full hairline and looking something of a male equivalent to Ella Raines, Fading Fast, I'm surprised to be able to offer up Robert Taylor by this time:  (It took the proverbial last ounce of my willpower to restrain from including a non-cropped version of the above photo. ) |

Oh thank you, NoShear ! This is a great idea for a thread. I never get tired of all the fabulous hairdos in the classic films, and yes Norma Shearer's hair always flew out the side of her head in tiny waves like a wild extension of her personality! ! Here's the gorgeous Maude Fealy. One of my favorites.
Hi, Andrea Doria - I hope you don't mind, but I booked appointments for both Eileen Herlie and Bronagh Waugh in the Hair Salon. Maybe you can do something with their tangled tresses:   I hope all is well for you and your husband... |

On TCM right now is "King of the Underworld" with Kay Francis in the female lead.
I'm just going to say it knowing I'm going to be crucified, as a body of follicle work in movies, Kay Francis has the ugliest head of hair of any major female star ever. Yes, there's plenty of it, but that's not an asset in her case.
In "King of the Underworld" And in other movies:
      
Dear God that hair's a mess.

Did she decide the hair style? I wonder if the studio's hair stylists or the director decide. I saw a picture years ago of Deborah Kerr standing in front of a big board with about twelve long wigs of different shades of red hair for whoever to decide her hair color for whatever film.
Maybe Francis had the clout to decide her hairstyle-but geez, to so consistently pick such crazy do's for her.

For late 1970s hair, you have to love Michael Douglas and Genevieve Bujold in Coma (comments on the movie here: "Coma").
It's long and layered, but you can feel the 1980s less-long and more-controlled style coming into being.
For my money, the nod goes to Douglas whose hair has a bit more of a natural look than Bujold's, whose hair shows some control issues in the top pic.
In the last pic, Bujold, after realizing she can't compete with Douglas' mane, decides to no longer play the game.

Warren Beatty's hair was also a good way to track the transition from 1970's to 1980's. From super blown-out in The Parallax View (1974)....  ...to more controlled in Heaven Can Wait (1978)...  ....to even more scaled back in Ishtar (1987).  |
