Bald Women: Difference between revisions

Line 61:

* Ilia from ''[[Star Trek the Motion Picture]]'': One of the best-known examples, Illia is probably better known for her chrome dome than Persis Khambatta's acting.

* The ''[[Dune]]'' films make Bene Gesserit bald for whatever reason.

* ''[[GI Jane]]'' is notable for this, even so far as playing the trope on DVD and VHS covers. There's even a [[Multi Take Cut]] of [[Demi Moore]] [[Important Haircut|shaving her head]] and becoming [[Bald of Awesome|Badass]] in the process.

* Agatha in ''[[Minority Report]]''. Like in ''[[The Matrix]]'', it was because her hair didn't grow while she was kept in stasis.

* Of all people, ''[[Satan]]'' from ''[[The Passion of the Christ]]''. In this case, it also counts as [[Bald of Evil]].

Line 104:

* Zhaan in ''[[Farscape (TV)|Farscape]]''.

* Bonnie, one of Ross' girlfriends on ''[[Friends]]'', was described as being bald. However, by the time Ross meets her, Bonnie had a full head of hair. Until {{spoiler|Rachel persuaded her to shave it off again}}.

* ''[[~~Babylon 5 (TV)|~~Babylon 5]]'' featured this trope, notably with Centauri women, who apparently shave their heads, and the Minbari, who are [[Alien Hair|naturally bald]]. Delenn actually started off bald, but eventually went under an important change that resulted in her getting hair.

* Two first-season episodes of ''[[Small Wonder]]'', the pilot and "RoboBrat", featured a briefly bald Vicki.

* In one early episode of ''[[Frasier]]'', we see that artist Martha Paxton is bald; she also never bathes and often wears a poncho.

Line 122:

== Tabletop Games ==

* In one of the sourcebooks for ''[[Mage: The Awakening (Tabletop Game)|Mage: The Awakening]]'', there is a young 20-something who keeps her head bald because her nimbus manifests as sparks running along her scalp serving as a sample character (for the Pygmalian Society in ''Legacies: The Sublime''). This electricity is not strictly ''real'', but the feeling of lightning through her hair is unsettling enough that she prefers to just keep her head shaved bald (if asked about it, the book states that she'll claim to be making a statement on 'gender or something'). Interestingly enough, she actually has the [[Hello Nurse|Striking Looks merit]], indicating that she's actually exceptionally ''attractive'' in her own unique way (not [[Angelina Jolie]] level, as that's the higher-level version of the merit, but still attractive enough to draw eyes) and it's mentioned that she's been featured on covers of magazines a few times. Judging from the page art, she deserves the merit.

* In ''[[Deadlands]]: Hell on Earth'', all [[Psychic Powers|sykers]] are absolutely bald. Including women.

* The Tau, of [[Warhammer 40000]], are universally bald, save for a single lock at the back of their head which they typically grow [[Braids of Action|just past shoulder length]]. In the RPG books, human women sometimes are partly or fully bald, such as the Sisters Repentia.
