Halle Berry is going the way of Britney, Natalie Portman before her
It is always interesting to me when women decide to shave their head, forever reason. Some do it because they’ve had enough (see: Spears, Britney), some do it because they are in a totalitarianism-based movie (see: Portman, Natalie) and some, like Miss Halle Berry do it because they want to learn a lesson.
According to this, Halle (who throughout the years has worn braids and long and short hairstyles) will go completely bald for her next movie, she plays a woman “whose hair is starting to fall out, so she decides to shave it”.
It seems to be a popular decision nowadays for famous women to decide on their own to be bald, fake or not. Offhand, I can remember Emma Thompson going bald in “Wit”, an HBO version of the award-winning play of the same name.
Tyra Banks modeled the look for prospective America’s Next Top Models recently.
From what I remember about this movie “Nappily Ever After”, Halle bought the film rights a long time ago, so she’ll most likely be getting a financial kickback from the film if (when?) it does well. So not only is this a interesting personal decision (I love that she wants to learn from this), it’s also a good financial one, as people will run to the theatre to see a woman, world renown for her beauty, with no hair.
