What was with Robin Tunney's hairline?


Can someone please explain to me why her hairline looked like a bad wig?

Is it always like that or was this for the movie?

reply

It's says in the trivia here on imdb for this film that she had shaved her head for a previous role and so had to wear a wig for this one.

I listened to commentary and there were many mentions of her bad wig. Apparently nobody really liked it.

reply

LOL...because it was a wig. This is actually common knowledge.

Prior to The Craft, Robin Tunney participated in a film called Empire Records, a story in which she plays a moody, suicidal teenage girl who shaves her head on a whim. Good movie, by the way. I recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

She genuinely shaved her head in the Empire Records bathroom scene. I recommend it too.

Stop calling me Warren! My name isn't fucking Warren!

It was for Empire Records. Didn't they notice how silly it looked throughout production? She was the main character in this film. They could have worked harder on that hairline.

I'm a very visual person, but I can't spot a wig, a nose job, implants, a toupe....any of those things! I'm somehow visually naive in those areas!

It never occurred to me that Robin Tunney's hair was at all off in this film : (

Agreed Cookie ... I didnt notice it either

reply

Maybe it was more obvious on the big screen (?) but I only watched it on DVD

reply

Yeah i only saw this on cable...
Never the theater
Plus im kinda dumb with my lady friends/co-workers...im told (by the boys at work cuz we non-stop gossip about stuff;)) lots of the ladies have a fake hair game:
Color/wigs/extensions...i never even notice lol

reply

I didn't notice either.

reply

Good movie
Cute girls
I didnt even notice...
I work with a bunch of ladies that wear wigs or get the extensions...they look pretty good
Plus im usually looking at the ass or boobs so...

reply

It was one reason I disliked her character at the time. I couldn't stop noticing her annoying hair. Once I found out it was a wig I felt better about her. lol
