I thought Linda Lavin was an above average looking woman. There were times on the show when she looked better and times where she looked worse.

Best: Dark hair, long (hair down). Short hair looked very good on her too. Less make up, fuller eyebrows.

Worst: Highlighted hair, early 80's poodle perm (ugh!). Plucked eyebrows to the point they were almost invisible (what was she thinking?). Too much make up, especially rouge.

Yes definatly her natural darker hair looked better and I didn't like the perm at all ! A lot of ladies fell victim to very bad short, too curly perms back than!! :p

Seasons 6 and after, Linda's hair styles were horrible. The short perm was the worst and the highlights were atrocious. She looked her best in seasons 1, 2 and 3 with the longer, flowing, normal looking black hair, less make up and no ridiculous eyebrow tweezing.

Yes !! ;) I will have to take note of the different eyebrows though.I never really noticed. When I watch Alice now, I'll remember to check out the difference from early to later seasons ! ;)

I liked her shorter hairstyle in the later (Jolene) years of the show.

I tend to agree that Linda could carry off that style pretty well. I do like however this look from very early on,
I believe this is from Season 1:

Linda's cheekbones are an attractive feature of her pretty face,
looking great.

Her dark hair is nice and looks very natural. I was just looking over a widow lady
around my age at my church this past week, and imagined how much better
she would look if she dyed back to her very dark color -- instead of the weird
reddish color she'd gone to.

Seasons 2 and 3 was her best hair styles IMO... When I think of Alice I think of her with the shoulder length dark hair.

LOL I remember when I was a kid and first saw Alice's ultra short hair for the first time in the later seasons, and I didn't recognize her as Alice

Whenever I "think" of Alice it's with her hairstyle from the early seasons also. She looked really hot.

Here's the longer hair length I like for Linda. This partially-
pulled back style is absolutely beautiful:

Love her dark hair, she's hot:

Very nice body for Linda I will add, her chest is practically perfect. :)

I don't think she ever looked bad. I really love how the theme song changed each season and she also changed her look.
My least favorite is the perm. However that's looking back. I remember those perms we very popular in the very early 80s. My mom had hair just like that.

I liked about all her looks except for the SUPER short hair of the final years. It works on some people, I just didn't think it suited her as much
