JULIE WALTERS - WALTERS SHAVES HEAD TO PLAY POLITICIAN

WALTERS SHAVES HEAD TO PLAY POLITICIAN

Acting legend JULIE WALTERS is so determined to play late U.K. politician MO MOWLAM convincingly in an upcoming TV movie, she has shaved her hair off.
The Oscar nominee will portray Mowlam's compelling political rise under former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, as well as her death from a brain tumour in 2005.
And Walters has decided to shave her own head rather than wear a wig in Mo, a drama for British television network Channel 4.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Julie didn't have to shave her hair but she'll go to any length to get into character."
The one-off film is currently shooting in Northern Ireland and is due to air in the U.K. next year (10).
