Losing your hair is always somewhat hard to swallow. Thinning hair, again, worrisome. Some people resort to Rogaine, a wig, toup�e, plugs, extensions, and even something resembling spray paint. And, if you were Kate Winslet while she was on the set of The Reader, you probably would have been mortified to learn that you needed a wig for your, uh, private bits. It seems 50 years ago women preferred a fuller hairdo downstairs, and Winslet couldn�t grow hers quick enough� so they made her a -- wait for it -- pubic wig.
Kate explains, �The film is set in the 1950s. I couldn�t just have a landing strip. I had to grow the hair down there. But because of years of waxing, as all of us girls know, it doesn�t come back quite the way it used to. They made me a merkin - a wig - because they were so concerned that I might not be able to grow enough.�
