I just bought the 2005 rerelease of this book and in it's cover photo, Diane Arbus has always reminded me of Klute-Jane Fonda Shag hairstyle/leather pants. The photo was taken sometime in 1971 and Arbus committed suicide about a month after Klute was released (summer of 71). I've often wondered if she saw the movie and was influenced. I'm certain she would have related to Bree Daniels.
This link may not work, but It's the portrait by Eva Rubinstein, Arbus' student.

I'm sorry, but I've always detested this haircut. (Carol Brady wore a variation of it, too.) I understand it's appeal to women at a time when they were taking on a more forthright, no-frills positionbut it's a blunt look that just doesn't look very good on anyone except for 12-year-uld boys, IMHO.
Donna Mills wears it in
Play Misty for Me,
as well.
It's kind ofprison-esque. -

Yes, Donna Mills wore the same cut in "Play Misty for Me", as did Judy Carne (of "Laugh-In" fame) back in the early 70's.
But I would say Carol Brady's cut resembled a mullet more than a shag. -

I agree, it's freakin' awful. It looks like what happens when a toddler gets ahold of a pair of scissors. I even found it hard to believe that Fonda would've been successful at picking up men with that escaped-idiot-on-the-loose hairdo.

Gotta agree with you on this one. It's pretty hideous to me, no matter who's wearing it even David Bowie. Watching Klute for the first time tonight, it was just a bit too distracting, and i never really got into Jane Fonda's famously lauded performance (though i've never thought she was much of an actor anyway she's always rubbed me the wrong way). Good film otherwise though, even though it is lesser Pakula, the director of some of my very favorite films.

Normally I'm anti-shag, but Jane's is gorgeous. She looks so beautiful in this film, and the hair frames her face perfectly. It also was so new at the time, really groundbreaking in the age of long hippie hair.
I think the real problem came later with the feathering, when people feathered the sides of the shag back and then glued it into place with hairspray.
Then again, I like Keith Partridge's shag too. Sometimes those flowing locks just worked in the early '70s. I so wanted one. -

The only thing wrong with this hairstyle is the same with all layered hairstyles - the growing out part. If this haircut was cut properly, like Jane Fonda in this movie or Donna Mills in Play Misty for Me, it was beautiful. But it was a hard cut to get right. Mrs Brady's haircut was a mullet.
