WOW - http://www.justjared.com/2012/04/08/anne-hathaway-debuts-super-short-hair-for-les-miserables/

I would definitely not have expected that (especially since it's a rather critical point that Fantine is blonde (it says her dowry would be gold and pearls, with the gold being her hair and the pearls being her perfect teeth).

i think it is going to look great once better pictures surface...

very disappointing that she didn't do it before filming the dark knight seeing as catwoman traditionally has a pixie...

as a fan of the character this makes me sad

:(

Anne wore a pixie wig for "One Day" and got a positive reaction she got from the crew and friends who weighed in. So she was going to cut her hair short for real, but Chris Nolan wanted it long for Catwoman.

I don't know about recently, but I was a kid Catwoman had long hair.

I think it's best to reserve judgment. Sometimes the first pictures don't reflect how the haircut looks usually. I remember when Alyssa Milano cut her hair, the first pictures were in People and didn't look that good. Later, her pixie looked great.

While Fantine is blond, she does sell her hair in the play. It isn't supposed to look good after she does that. Still, I'd guess they'd dye her hair blond if she was going to cut it.

she has had short hair in the comics for about the last 15 years... and for a short while in the 80s. i think it suits her personality better!! http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/9800000/Catwoman-batman-villains-9849972-524-792.jpg

Even the Today Show for Sunday talked about Anne's super short haircut which they said is not a wig but truly a short short haircut.  Supposedly she is being hounded by the media to get photos of it.  The Today Show did not have a good shot either.

More Anne but from front.  You can even see her scalp.  Bizarre.  Isn't she getting married soon?  I know she cut it for a role but really?
 

She had the opportunity to play Fantine in "Les Miserable." That's a killer part that many many actresses would kill to play. It's coming out December 14, so people likely think there are Oscar possibilities.

Natalie Portman shaved her head in a movie that wasn't a legendary part in a classic book/play and wasn't going to get her an Oscar. The list of actresses who cut their hair for a killer role (e.g. Sienna Miller, Rooney Mara) is long. If Anne didn't do it, I'm sure there were a dozen other big name actresses who would've been in the salon chair in 15 minutes.

Once we get a better pic, one without her hand hiding it, I think it will be ok, but too short...probably will look better once a little grow out.

I believe she wanted to cut it for the role.  I don't think a wig would have diminished the artistic vision of the film, but sometimes, actors want to take on as much of the physical manifestations of the person they are portraying as possible, that, plus the interview where she said she wanted to cut her hair off leads me to believe she wanted to, and this role was as good an excuse as any...

Dang it! And I was having such a Happy Easter.

Somehow the look is less startling than I would have expected.

It's only a haircut Kramer...don't let it ruin your Easter!  Hope you had a happy Easter anyway!

I truly love it

i also think it looks great!! looking dforward to some better pics!!

     A woman need a perfect face to carry this cut. This is WAY too short for her.

Actually, I think her face is so unusual that she gets away with it quite well.

Not really likely to be a style for the long term, though.

I think she looks awesome; can't wait for better pictures.

I can't wait for the grow out. If she does.

Score!!!

Too bad Kate Beckinsale didn't get that role...

I can handle Anne Hathaway with this style, but don't take Kate!

That's a shame

would LOVE to see kate with a pixie! sure it owuld be SMOKING!
