Super-Short Blonde Hair?


Why did they portray Anne with short, blonde hair? Everyone's seen pictures of her on the news, she had long, dark, curly hair. I don't get it.

That's odd. Maybe they wanted Kathryn Morris to play her and she wouldn't look good in a dark curly wig. They probably figured leaving her regular hair would be fine. I have no idea though. I've never heard about this case until this movie. Who knows.

He died in an accident when his car was hit by a drunk driver.


Ann Rule said the actress playing Ms. Fahey tried a long dark wig and looked ridiculous in it, but still thought she conveyed the spirit and fragility of Anne Marie Fahey.

What TCall said. They felt Kathleen Morris was the right one for the role. That confused me at first. I don't like when they go way off from my mental image after reading the book ;-)

I think Mark Harmon made a great Capano as he did Ted Bundy!!

All the actresses out there and they couldn't find one that didn't need a wig.It's not like the actress played an unforgettable role in her career.The real Anne was very attractive even beautiful dark haired woman and I think we should have seen thatto make her standout as .Mark Harmon did in his role.

Read the book.

It's terrific, as all Ann Rule's books are.

I don't know why they would have a problem putting Kathryn Morris in a long dark curly wig for this role. She actually wore a long dark wig for her part in the movie Death Of A Cheerleader and it really didn't look too bad on her. I guess like you said they must have felt that her regular hair would be fine. I do think they should have used the long dark wig though to make her more believable as Anne Marie.

reply

I agree--they should have made an effor to make her look somewhat like Anne. I thought Mark Harmon looked like Capano with those glasses.

I'm from Philadelphia and this story was big here. The local news did a story following the movie the night it premiered with interviews of her friends at the pub where Anne Marie frequented. I remember them addressing this and saying that they deliberately depicted Anne Marie with short blonde hair because trying to make Kathryn Morris look like the real Anne Marie would have been too emotional for her family and friends.

reply

Kathryn had short hair when she appeared in Xena Warrior Princess, loved her guest appearance on there, 'Cold Case' and her recent Hallmark Channel Movie, but I felt that she was out of place playing Ann Marie.

No way Mark Harmon even with the glasses looked like Capano, Mark is gorgeous, Capano even as charming as he was and the money he had there is no way I would ever sleep with him, he is not good looking at all.

For the umpteenth time I don't hate Ziva David, blame Shane Brennan for destroying her character.
