BIRGIT COMPTON'S BOBS -
Page Eighteen
In this year's Oscars the award for best screen bob deservedly went
to Natalie Portman for her dark chin length asymmetric bob in
'Closer'. We bring you a brief tribute here . . . .
The plot of 'Closer'
is, of course, largely
irrelevant to hair fans,
but the important
details are that
Natalie only wears the
excellent bob during
the central portion of
the film, around an
appearance at a
photographic gallery,
here with Clive Owen.
Before and after the
best hair bits, Natalie
unfortunately sports a
much more unkempt
nondescript shoulder
length style, so we have
to make the most of
these central scenes
where her bob is
shown in it's full glory.
As a bob-bonus
later in the film,
Natalie appears
working in a
somewhat dubious
pole-dancing club,
where she is shown
wearing a perfectly
styled, although
somewhat bizarrely
pink, bob wig.
