    Michelle Pfeiffer "hated" her iconic Scarface bob

    The 67-year-old actress was a hair inspiration for many women with the blonde one-length cut with tucked ends she sported as Elvira Hancock in the 1983 movie but she admitted she wasn't a fan of either the colour or the style.


    Asked if she ever expected the cut to have such a cultural impact, she told HarpersBazaar.com: "Absolutely not. I hated it.

    "I had never bleached my hair before, and they just bleached my hair to s***. I'm not that kind of coiffed girl.

    "I love bobs on other people, but I'm not a bob girl.

    "I don't think I was the first person ever to have a bob, but I think that particular movie, that particular character, just got a lot of attention."

    And that isn't the only hair style Michelle regrets.

    She admitted: "I've had some bad perms. I do not want to see those coming back."

    The Grease 2 star - who has her own Henry Rose fragrance line - believes Die My Love actress Jennifer Lawrence is the best-smelling person she's ever met.

    Asked who she'd single out for her scent, she said: The person who comes to mind is Jennifer Lawrence.

    "She was wearing some kind of vanilla fragrance when I was working with her on Mother! and [Henry Rose] was in its infancy.

    "It was just sort of an idea that I was trying to get off the ground. But she smells pretty good."

    Choosing Jennifer may not be a surprise because Michelle explained she loves the smell of vanilla, but quickly learned she couldn't use it in all her perfumes so has learned to embrace other scents too.

    She said: "Everybody gravitates to different olfactive notes. I'm a vanilla girl, so as a founder of a fragrance line, that's all I wanted anything to smell like. Maybe I could have a whole line of vanilla scents. Then I was educated that that wasn't a good idea.

    "I think being an actor has been the one thing that I'm actually skilled in. I was able to use it by looking at each of these fragrances as a character-that this may not be something I gravitate toward, but this kind of person would gravitate toward it.

    "And even though it may not be the first thing that I'm going to grab, they're all fragrances I love.

    "And I've since then learned to love florals, which I never liked. And maybe I just love ours because they're so fantastic. I don't like traditional florals. I don't really like traditional fragrances.

    "Growing up, I gravitated toward men's cologne, and with the first fragrance that we launched, that's what I was going after. I didn't know it at the time, but it was my father's cologne. It's been a really enlightening journey for me."
