Gwyneth Paltrow’s $8,000 haircut on the set of Pile et Face

Romantic comedy Heads and tails By Peter Howitt in the late 1990s, American Gwyneth Paltrow and Englishman John Hannah (also seen Four weddings and a funeral ) In this feature film, the script explores both sides of life depending on whether or not Gwyneth Paltrow’s character can get on the subway. Thus, the story follows the heroine’s two destinies in parallel.

Strategists leading the viewer

In a podcast hosted and dubbed by Jenny Becker SD25 (is the original title of the film Sliding doors), the director returned to this desire to help the viewer navigate between two versions of the story: How to make it not confusing? And among the schemes used, therefore, is the cut of Gwyneth Paltrow. “We decided on the hairstyle very early on because when we went to pitch our project to all the film companies, a lot of people liked it but didn’t really understand how we were going to do it,” says producer Philippa Braithwaite.

The trick of a different hairstyle is important in that case. Helen’s character has long hair on one side, and a Meg Ryan-like short haircut on the other. But the actress, who has to give up the length, has one requirement: her New York hairdresser cuts her long hair. “It was probably the most expensive haircut ever because Gwyneth, quite rightly, she had great hair, wanted her hairdresser to come in from New York and we had to fly her in. This reduction ended up being £5,000 (about $8,000 at the time, Ed). Then we made a wig for the version of Helen with long hair.’

The successful and very iconic cut of the 1990s will go down in legend when the actress poses with her then-partner Brad Pitt, who even decides to play the hair mimicry card.
