Felicity stars then and now: What the solid, including Keri Russell and Scott Speedman, are up to now

The star chopped her curly hair into a brief pixie reduce, which started as a prank on producers after sending them a photograph of herself carrying a wig. 

While they thought it might be a good suggestion to change Felicity’s look in the present, the coiffure change was blamed for the steep scores drop (not to point out hysteria) that adopted, with many declaring it had “ruined” the present.

Sharing a “message to her past self” in a 2016 TV interview, Russell revealed the extent of the backlash.

“Whatever you do, don’t cut your hair short during the second season of Felicity,” she mentioned throughout the late night time present look.

“No, I’m serious. People will freak the hell out. You’ll get hate mail. You’ll even get death threats. But, gradually, your hair will grow back and your fans will forgive you, but you will never – and I repeat never – forgive your fans.”

In one other interview, Russell recalled, “Strangers did come up to me on the street and say things like, ‘You were so pretty before you cut your hair.'”
