Jane definitely put that hairstyle on the map. No question about it. It was a nice change from that sprayed, lacquered stuff the shaped the 60's. It must have been liberating for women of that era to shed all that stuff and go for wash-and-wear.
Jane's variation featuring a side parting was a cool trademark for her. -

It suited her face. As I posted earlier, that hairstyle wasn't a shag; the official name of it was "ape-drape". It was all the rage in the early 70s, and it was started by Paul McGregor, who happened to be the hairstylist on KLUTE.

The shag/ape drape/whatever absolutely WAS the rage in the early 70s, because Jane Fonda looked so sexy in it. There were some guys who looked hot in it too, invariably with a mustache. But while many were called, few were chosena lot who wore that fashionable cut back in the day looked bad in it, including my trig teacher. Sorry Mr. Ziminski!

I have never heard of the "ape drape" also. It may have officially been called the "ape drape" for 5 minutes before someone realised it was a horrible name and that women wouldnt want to ask for a hairstyle called the ape drape and so it became "the shag" as everyone knows it.
