Soft=focus which never looked right. Compare her close-ups in Dressed to Kill, albeit 7 yrs later, and there is a marked difference. Her PW close-ups had a pastiness about them, as if the make-up was too light also.
shareAngie's soft-lensing on PW was evident to the shrewd eye, but rarely excessive, I thought. In fact, in mid-to-late Season 2, that lensing is temporarily removed and Angie looks her harshest in response to the '70s feminist complaints that her character was too sexualized.
Her demeanor was reined-in, too.

If I recall, the shot of her as a brunette in a revealing dress as she starts to rise in the opening credits didn't have soft-focus, and may have been the from the pilot tv film.
On the series, her make-up just looked chalky, as though trying to naturalize her blonde look, when she looked more natural as a brunette
That shot as the brunette hooker came from one of the first two episodes filmed, and it's indeed a pretty harshly lit shot. I guess they hadn't chosen their prefered lens yet.

what was this shot supposed to show me? The soft focus or her coloring? Her skin looks natural and tan here, if that's what you mean. But her hair is just "there". I thought it was due to wigs, but in the pic you sent, it looks natural.
shareThe photo is from one of the first episodes shot, with the soft-focus but before she started wearing hairpieces posing as her own hair.
She was never photographed softer than this (nor better, with good lighting as well) and they dropped this soft-focus by the second year, lighting her more harshly and at less favorable an angle.

When you say hairpieces do you mean a full wig? In this photo, it looks like her natural hair due to the hairline showing. I think she had fine hair, which would never get that desired full look, like Lee Grant. Yet, in Dressed to Kill, I liked her hair better; it looked like her natural hair, but straighter and more sleek.
shareI already said the pic is before she wore the hairpieces; it's still her own hair.
But they should have continued lighting her this way, but didn't after the first year.

I know, see my post again (I said her natural hairline in that pic makes it look like her own hair) I was speaking about after when she wore wigs, was asking if you meant a wig by "hairpieces".
shareI know, see my post again.
