Keri Russell hit it big playing Felicity on one of J.J. Abrams’s first shows Felicity. Her hair was such a major part of her and the show’s appeal that rating plummeted when she cut it short, thus proving audiences don’t understand how hair works.

A word from Keri: “People still take (the haircut) really personally. They come up to me at breakfast places like, ‘When are you growing your hair back?”

It grows back, crazies! It’s not like she hacked her arm off. I can understand how a stump would be off-putting, but let the woman have short hair.

Check Keri out with long locks after the jump.
