Michelle Pfeiffer says she hated her iconic 'Scarface' haircut
Los Angeles, Jan 22
As much as 'Scarface' is an iconic film, actress Michelle Pfeiffer was not really a fan of her hairdo in the film.
In fact, she "hated" her iconic Scarface bob. The 67-year-old actress was a hair inspiration for many women with the blonde one-length cut with tucked ends she sported as Elvira Hancock in the 1983 movie but she admitted she wasn't a fan of either the colour or the style, reports 'Female First UK'.
Asked if she ever expected the cut to have such a cultural impact, she told Harpers Bazaar, "Absolutely not. I hated it. I had never bleached my hair before, and they just bleached my hair to s***. I'm not that kind of coiffed girl. I love bobs on other people, but I'm not a bob girl"-
"I don't think I was the first person ever to have a bob, but I think that particular movie, that particular character, just got a lot of attention", she added.
As per 'Female First UK', and that isn't the only hair style Michelle regrets.
She shared, "I've had some bad perms. I do not want to see those coming back". The actress, who has her own fragrance line, believes that actress Jennifer Lawrence is the best-smelling person she's ever met.
Asked who she'd single out for her scent, she said, The person who comes to mind is Jennifer Lawrence. She was wearing some kind of vanilla fragrance when I was working with her on 'Mother', and (Henry Rose) was in its infancy. It was just sort of an idea that I was trying to get off the ground. But she smells pretty good".
Choosing Jennifer may not be a surprise because Michelle explained she loves the smell of vanilla, but quickly learned she couldn't use it in all her perfumes so has learned to embrace other scents as well.

Respectfully, I think she's being a bit harsh. That haircut defined a generation's style. Sometimes the artist doesn't see the impact of their own work.
The real story for me is her talking about bad perms! My mum still has photos from the 80s with those tight curls. She says the same thing - please don't let them come back! 🤣
Interesting how she pivots to fragrance. Vanilla is a classic. In India, we have so many natural scents like sandalwood and jasmine that are timeless.
It's a good reminder that what looks glamorous on screen can be uncomfortable for the actor. Bleaching hair that much must have been terrible for its health. The things they do for art!
