Keri Russell's Haircut in 'Felicity' Lead to This Controversy

If I understood correctly, some snips of her long hair were done on camera in the second or so episode of the season by another actor, after which her hair was cut short at a salon (with only the results seen).

Viewers had fallen in love with how Keri looked with her long curly tresses. The series producers were complicit in an extremely boneheaded change. I remember when all of this went down, it was a very big deal.
