| Description: | News in Brief: Bald Headed Woman. Mrs. Patricia Smith of San Francisco sheds her crowning glory for money and publicity - for a new movie, and publicity she hopes will advance her acting career. Woman looks at poster for movie apparently called "Girl in the Kremlin" (or perhaps "Stalin Did This To Me!") which shows bald woman. Two identically dressed little girls are held by each hand of their mother; one covers her eyes with her hand, the other girl screams. Actress Smith sits in a chair and has her locks cut then her head shaved (by a barber with straight razor) while people stand around and watch and a few photographers take pictures. She poses bald with her barber, smiling cheerfully. Publicity stunt. | |
