After "designing Women, she basically disappeared from fame. My theory is this, it's all about the haircut, and what it symbolizes. She was so beautiful. But she hacked off her hair and looked like a dyke. Maybe she was just trying to fit in with the drama geeks she holds so dearly. But nobody likes a butch except another butch.
Intentional or not, I think she made the classical mistake that famous babes make. When you decide that you don't want your looks to be a part of what makes you famous and you desecrate your temple to make that point, you find out that people aren't as interested in what you do if they're not also interested in seeing you naked and impregnating you. It's not a bad thing; it's just human nature.
I wonder if she ever grew her hair back and if she's still do-able today.
