| "Roswell" Star Finds
Little To-'Do at UPN |
|
PASADENA, Calif. - "Roswell"
star Katherine Heigl's discovered an unexpected bonus for moving from the WB to UPN: It's
much easier to get a haircut.
Heigl, the towering beauty who plays teen alien Isabel Evans on the sci-fi drama, showed
up here to talk with television critics about the series' second season with a stylish
short 'do that would probably have caused apoplexy on her former network, which pretty
much banned anything but split-end trims for its female stars after "Felicity's"
Keri Russell cut hers and the show's ratings took a dive.
"Cutting hair is a simple thing - it's just, you know, what people have to say that
makes it difficult," Heigl said. "WB was very. . .clear, I think, about how they
felt about it, and I actually cut my hair for a part, thinking the show was
canceled."
Now that the show's been picked up by UPN as part of its deal to lure "Buffy the
Vampire Slayer" - both shows are produced by 20th Century Fox - Heigl's finding a
more relaxed attitude about hair at the home of "WWF Smackdown."
"Everybody's been really great about it," she said. |
