July 2001:
Several of you alerted us to Disney’s new film, ‘The Princess Diaries,’ where an ordinary teenager goes from ugly duckling to beautiful swan after learning that her grandmother is a Queen. Reader Angela says, ‘I was horrified when I saw the stylist imply that the girl’s curly hair was unruly and unattractive. Of course, when she was made over, she had straight hair. Clearly another example of curl bias! Shame on Disney!’ We agree! !
