She’s had no better luck in the hair department. “I tried to do everything you can do to your hair,” she said. “Personally I felt it humiliating.

Known today for her naturally gray pixie, even Curtis’ signature cut came after a beauty emergency. “Very early on in my career, I had a perm and then had to dye my hair for a movie and it burned my hair off my head,” she described. “The first time I cut my hair short, I went, ‘Oh. Oh my God. Oh wow. I look like me.'”
