Just for fun, let's look at the wigs supplied to Patricia Heaton in her role as Frankie Heck. Earlier, her style had flipped ends. I think this was the earliest look: Side part, with longish bangs/fringe coming into one eye:

Bangs/fringe still sideswept here, but overall length touches her shoulders:

Probably the longest look -- easily shoulder-length:

Here's a variation: Surprisingly shorter, and no more end flips:

Bangs/fringe pretty short and straight down; again no end flips:

The most prevalent look (next two photos): Bangs/fringe around eyebrows and lower (!); fairly long & straight overall:

I like 'em all...!

I never knew she wore wigs, I like them all.

what's wrong with her regular hair? why the need for this?

The bob style hair wig is great and looks good on her.I also have bought a short hair wig from hairwigsall.com and it is pretty good too.I like it very much.

I want a picture of her from this season, with the bangs and longer hair.

A cutie under any hair.

Hair extensions and hairpieces really can help to improve the looking of people and help to change them a lot hair extensions and hairpieces if choosing the right type and right style of hair wigs for you, of course that you will look and become more and more attractive and also buy cheap hair wigs now is easy as you can just get the ideal style that you want online at online shops now. I have just buy me a medium black wig and it is perfect.

she looks darn good in whatever she wears.

Heaton played a shrew on "...Raymond" and is an even bigger shrew on "The Middle." She yells all the time. And, what mother would let her daughter leave the house with the stringy hair and horrible clothes that the daughter on this show wears? Mom has perfectly cut and coifed hair and the daughter is a mess. A decent Mom would take her daughter for a good haircut and help her buy appropriate clothes.

Evidently Heaton is just playing herself because she appears to be a shrew in real life as well. Below is the tweet she sent to the Georgetown University law student who testified in Congress about contraceptive coverage. She later recanted -- probably because siding with Rush Limbaugh was not good for ratings :lol: !

HER TWEET:
"Hey G-Town Gal: If your parents have to pay for your birth control, maybe they should get a say in who you sleep with! Instant birth control!"
