While on the hunt for its equivalent in YouTube form, I found this time capsule from some German NBC program (?) in 1994 that basically leverages HRC’s ever-changing tresses to make harsh remarks about her failures in health care reform.
Katie Baker: I would spend a significant amount of money on a well-made coffee-table book that traced the recent social history of the United States vis-à-vis Hillary Clinton’s hair. I wish I could sit here with a straight face and act like Camp was embarrassing to watch even as a preteen, but that would mean I never spent that hour before school one Friday trying as hard as I could to recreate those hair-gel-stalagmites. He’s still alive, but “was” is the operative word here - the now-34-year-old former MTV VJ has long since faded into cocaine-dusted obscurity, his insane hair vanishing along with his fleeting, screeching celebrity. Zach Dionne: Jesse Camp was 5 percent human, 20 percent voice, and 75 percent hairstyle. Look into Al Pacino’s eyes as he stares across the barrel of that revolver. Just as you will not be able to gaze upon Bradley Cooper’s salon-quality curls or the tattered scrap of swap-meet bear rug gently resting upon Christian Bale’s razored-back scalp without knowing there is one of your favorite actors toiling underneath, you could not watch Penn work beneath that fright wig and not marinate in the aggressive Penn-ness of it all.

There’s a graph I could draw illustrating this, but who has time for that? This is about art, not math. The more extreme the divide between reality and artifice, the greater the effect of the hair work, as the audience becomes unable (and, eventually, unwilling) to divorce performer from character. Mark Lisanti: The key to extracting maximum impact from a hair-acting choice is to play off the friction between the public’s knowledge of your civilian hairstyle and what you present to them onscreen. Here’s an audiovisual lookbook of some of our favorites. We’re just equally excited about the hair in American Hustle, and we can’t wait for J-Law’s towering updo and C-Bale’s “elaborate” comb-over to join the ranks of the greatest follicular innovations of our time. Russell’s American Hustle, which gets its limited release this weekend. Don’t get us wrong - we’re very excited about David O.
