Hilarious! It’s so nice to learn more about your life through these videos. I and my whole family have thin hair, so can relate.

That explains a lot about your hair during the 1993/94 season. The short wig in the Nicole Kidman episode was obvious.

I remember that show, it was called "If Not For You". I'm honestly surprised that they just didn't give you a platinum blonde wig for that show. You look great with the short red hair on SNL. Lorne was dead wrong. But it's always nice to have a wig for backup and bad hair days.

Hair is such a personal and cultural expression. Your hair, your business.

Thank you for this! I come from a family with similar hair issues, right down to my mom getting extensions and struggling with the little attachment thingies, and later on, wigs. Some family members say screw it who cares, and some feel what I can only describe as shame. No one talked about it. So I'm feeling so happy this morning to hear your stories! Also what is up with a body type for short hair? Like, most men have short hair, right?

Fun hair stories! I have short hair experience but I wasn't in show business. At age 25 in 1996, I was in my one and only same sex relationship so in a fit of youth, I had a friend cut my (forgive my brag) gorgeous, thick, and long dark brown hair. Within a week, I knew that the short hair and cargo pants I sported were screaming that I was a lesbian ... but by that time I knew that I was just your run-of-the-mill mostly straight gal. I had to come out as straight and regrow my long hair that felt much more "me" than short hair ever did.
