Glendeane
Tadich was
one of those long-haired models during the Fifties when long hair was rare to
find in the Western world. She was 1,52 m (60 inches) tall and her fiery red
locks had a length of 102 cm (40 inches).
Anita
Abascal
has been “discovered” by her photographer F.D. (who was a friend of Stan Shuttleworth) when she was a student at
the University of Southern California in the Mid-Sixties. Her parents came over
to the USA from a French Basque farm near the Lorraine valley. Many immigrants
from all over the world gave their very own part to their new home country and
created a “melting pot” of ethnic variety as nowhere else.

Anita’s hair was 1,34
m long (53 inches) and weighed 3 pounds. Her grandmother (whom she lived with
because her parents died in an accident) took care of the great mane of
luxuriant and colourful glossy tresses.

Her real hair
color was red gold, but the lighting often cast her hair as chestnut or light
auburn color.

At this session
in 1968 Stan Shuttleworth joined Anita and F.D. to shoot some own photos and a
16mm movie.

Anita
Abascal
joins the famous hair care specialist George Michael and some of his models in
a hair show at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles on July 7, 1973. The
master just checks Anita’s hair. The model at left next to Anita is Adrianne who
was featured by Stan Shuttleworth in a photo series.
The big salon of
George Michael of Madison Avenue in New York City has been visited by hundreds
of famous women from all over the world. The salon at 420 Madison Ave. opened
in 1960.
A
client of George Michael. His list of clients reads like the who’s who of beautiful
women: actresses, models, opera stars…women who are admired for their talents
and looks – and who know that long hair is sexy, beautiful and it makes a woman
look more like a woman. Among the stars were Faye Dunaway and Liv Ullmann,
Blanche Thebom and …Mary Tucker.
Another
client of
the famous hair technician George Michael, the Czar of Long Hair. Please, write
me if you can identify this lady!
Maria
Matarazzo, the executive vice president of George Michael of Madison Ave. in
NYC, had a great mane of luxuriant golden hair. She has changed her hairdo a
few times over the years. Mrs. Matarazzo is the owner of the New York salon
since the End-Eighties.
Debra
Jo Fondren, PLAYBOY’s “Playmate of the Year 1978”, belongs to George Michael’s
faithful clients. The beautiful Blonde with the knee-length mane (born on May 2
1955 in Los Angeles), broke the hearts of many readers of the men’s magazine
with her appearance. She decided to cut her hair to waist-length in 1979 and
couldn’t continue her success as a model.
This photo is an original autograph for me, provided by a friend in L.A. who met her in person at an event in the Nineties.
Becky
Quintanilla’s thick Rapunzel-like locks falls like Niagara over her shoulders down
to her ankles. The beautiful Californian (born 1967) is proud of her 1,52 m
hair (66 inches): “It’s my trademark. You may not remember my name, but you
will remember my hair”.

mane before a makeover.
Vimla
Maharaj-Banks and Vindra Maharaj-Roy, two sisters born 1959 in Trinidad. The dentists
live now in Lauderhill/ Florida. Their magnificent hair is 1,52 m (5 feet) and
1,83 m long.

Lady
Grace (Suzy) from Florida. Suzy’s hair length measures more than 2 meters – much
longer than she is tall. If there would be a rank list of the longest hair in
America right now, she would be surely placed among the first ten entries. To
view more of her photos, please visit the floorlengthhairgroup

BJ liked the Seventies very much and decided to grow her hair
longer in that style a few years ago. Now as it’s tigh-length people sometimes
stop her on the street to compliment her on her hair. And BJ plans to grow it
even longer!
