Mena Suvari has shaved her head.
The stunning actress, who had long blond hair when she starred alongside
Kevin Spacey in the Oscar-winning film 'American Beauty', showed off her
newly bald head when she met a friend for lunch in Beverly Hills last week.
Mena's representative has revealed the actress shaved off her locks in June
while she was shooting a movie adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 'Garden of
Eden' in Spain.
In the film, the actress plays a beautiful bored newlywed who falls for a
sultry Italian girl while she is honeymooning in Europe.
Mena isn't the only female star who has been forced to sacrifice their hair
for a film project.
Natalie Portman shaved her head for her role in sci-fi thriller 'V for
Vendetta' in 2005.
The actress says she fulfilled a long-standing ambition by losing her hair.
She explained: "I was really excited to get to shave my head - it's
something I'd wanted to do for a while and now I had a good excuse. It was
nice to shed that level of vanity for a girl."
Demi Moore agreed to cut all her hair off to star as a woman who joins the
US Navy Seals in 'G.I. Jane' in 1997.
Sigourney Weaver shaved her head when she reprised her role as Ellen Ripley
for 'Alien 3'.
Britney Spears famously shaved off her hair earlier this year before
entering Malibu's Promises rehab centre.
