Linda: Better as a blonde or brunette? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I think that Shawnee Smith is one of those beauties who looks great with brunette or blonde hair. On one show, she was platinum blonde.

My husband thinks she looks best as a blonde, but that could be a case of gentlemen prefer blondes, lol. Me, I think the dark hair brings out her eyes. That gal is gorgeous.

I have to say that I think Shawnee Smith looks better as a brunette. She is very pale, and the contrasting dark hair seems to look better on her than the blonde hair.

Brunette, definitely.

Shawnee Smith is adorable. I personally like her with the darker hair because just like Janice said, it brings out her eyes which are so soulful.

Tough call. She's a total babe either way!! Maybe one week a blonde. The next a bruette. Keep the relationship fresh and new

I'd say you're definitely in the minority there.

I know the actress from her other work. And from catching her on Becker once, she was blonde. I checked out pics of her both brunette and blonde. You are right, she is one of those girls who can look beautiful with either color. I think she looks a bit older blonde, the brunette makes her appear younger and fresh. I seen her in a movie many many years ago. It was a true story abt a girl who was kidnapped from the mall and made to ride along with a man who raped her and killed two women while she was forced to watch. Shawnee Smith is also great doing dramatic work and comedic work.

She's good in the SAW trilogy movies. She is a versatille actress.

Damn! She's done horror work too? Man, she really is a talented lady.

Seems to me she is overlooked. Was she ever nominated for an emmy?

Not to my knowledge. I think not actually. She's been working steadily since she was 12. She's 36 now.
