Rory Calhoun's look really changed over around 15 years. I was watching a 1953 film, The Silver Whip, because it had two of my favorite western actors, Dale Robertson and Rory. I keep wondering where was Rory. It took me a while to see that he was the Sherrif due to him looking so much different (yea, younger, and thinner faced like in this photo), due to me seeing him in The Texan the last few months. The Texan started in 1958 but he looked much more mature. Not old by any means, but more full faced and just more like a man of west instead of a boy of the west. |

Mother of God, you could ski down that thing ⇧.
Early this morning, insomniac me was doing some work with TCM on in the background. The 1977 movie "The Demon Seed" was on - which is a genre I don't care about, but it stars Julie Christie (swoon). So while still on mute, I kept looking up from my work to see her, which means I got little work done and didn't follow the movie - so all in all, a poor use of time. Still, I caught this scene where Julie Christie shows us how to rock some bed head hair.

A page or two back, we posted some the curliest twirliest heads of hair and then I saw this pick of Nancy Travis yesterday in BunnyWhit's posting in the "Celebrations/Remembrances" thread, which I thought needed to be added to our curly-twirly hair list:

For those of you who join us on Sunday Live! (our weekly shared screening of a classic movie where we chat and comment online while watching), you're familiar with the unattractive 1950s women's hairstyle of the short poodle cut. As we often note on Sunday Live!, it's just awful.
The other day, I watched the excellent noir "Split Second" (comments here: "Split Second") and saw that Jan Sterling had succumbed to the trend and chopped off most of her locks and permed the balance.
Why someone with this beautiful head of hair:
Would ever agree to do this to it:
Is a mystery for the ages - or just part of her contract that kept her employed.

Fading Fast, reminded me of the fit that Harry Cohn's said to have thrown over the rape of Rita Hayworth's locks for The Lady from Shanghai... Ah, but those Orson Welles Frisco offerings: www.sfgate.com/streaming/article/orson-welles-san-francisco-movie-17725787.php |

It doesn't top Nancy Travis' corkscrew mess of head of hair a few posts earlier, but this pic
that BunnyWhit posted over in the Celebrations/Remembrances thread, reminded me that Sigourney Weaver rocked some serious curls early in her career as we see here:

....and I thought of you when I posted this, FadingFast, because if Sigourney's hair had been half an inch shorter, she'd have been firmly in poodle territory -- which isn't even her breed....

I love the face of Ms Weaver's cat in that photo. It looks like perhaps a Tabby/Siamese mix, which makes for one chatty cat!

That picture of Jan Sterling is the best example I've seen of why they called it a poodle cut. My mother-in-law told me about once going to the movies with her best friend and seeing a hairdo like that for the first time, so they both went out the next day to get poodle cuts. I'll bet husbands around the country were upset. Jan Sterling may have been the cause of it all.
I was once inspired to get all my long hair cut off by this:
It did not make me look like Mia Farrow and it took a long time to grow back.

What an emotional cut the pixie is! First you have to muster every drop of courage to get the dang thing, and then you're either going to be elated or disconsolate....for a long time. I doubt anyone feels so-so about a pixie, right AndreaDoria?
Obviously some wear it better.....
 
.....than others.

I'm not sure how I feel about Audrey Hepburn's pixie. Sometimes I like it, other times I don't. Even with that short of a cut, styling matters.
 
I think my favorite pixie is the one Jamie Lee Curtis has been sporting for years. She goes a little shorter, a little longer, a little asymmetrical, a little punk, all sorts of variations, but it always looks fresh and great on her. (And these last years, I love that she's celebrated the gray.)

Oh thanks for all the Pixie pictures, BunnyWhit! I love how they reveal the faces in a special way. I agree that styling matters, whenever my hair has been short I've spent more time on it than when it's long and gravity just does it's thing.
Audrey Hepburn always looked beautiful with her short hair, but the pic where it's styled like Don Draper's is a step too far even for her.
