I first became a fan
of Laura Allen (born March 21, 1974 in Portland,
Oregon) when I
spotted her on The 4400.
She was very
convincing as a very beautiful, yet sweet and kind,
young woman abducted by aliens.
While it was scary
enough to just be popped out of Earth for several years,
the poor girl was returned many years later to discover
her previous life had completely disappeared.
She went on to fall
in love with a very handsome African American fellow
abductee and give birth to part human, part alien baby.
While I really
enjoyed Laura's character, I was thrilled with the
transformation her hair underwent during her appearances
on the hit series.
At one point her hair
was coiffed into a stunning blonde bob bestowing the
appearance of a smoking hot rock diva rather than a new
mom with an alien baby.
Sadly Laura's
character was killed off the 4400 series and she
disappeared. It was very disappointing to lose
such a fabulous actress and interesting character.

Imagine my excitement
when I noticed her appearance on the Red Carpet at
Dirt's Premiere. I hit the speed dial on my cell
and left Celebrity Hairdresser Robert Hallowell a
message quizzing him about Laura. Was she somehow
connected with the show? Did he know her?
Did she have gorgeous hair?
Robert, who is Dirt
star Courteney Cox Arquette's hairdresser confirmed
Laura's appearance in the pilot as well in some ongoing
episodes.
He responded to my
questions by saying "Laurie is just lovely, very sweet
and very beautiful". Unfortunately for me, Robert
didn't do Laura's hair but gave major kudos to the
show's hairdressers.
I have to agree,
Laura's hair was stunning throughout the entire pilot
episode.

With her petite build
and big eyes, she looks fantastic in her short sleek
bob. Her buttery blonde tresses were shimmering.
She truly looked like the superstar actress, Julia
Mallory, she plays on the show.
To prove what a great
actress she is, I was stunned by her portrayal of Julia.
Laura's version of
Julia was nothing like her 4400 character.
In fact, my
sympathies were initially with Holt McClaren
(Josh Stewart), her washed out actor boyfriend.
Not only did Laura's character cheat on her downtrodden
beau, she popped Ecstasy (E), smoked pot and enjoyed
some X rated adult activities.
Pretty much what most people would assume occurs
on a regular basis in the lives of Hollywood Honeys.
Which only goes to prove Laura is as talented as she is
gorgeous.
Summary
Beside's Laura's stunning sleek bob, her edgy
performance as a hedonistic star and her interactions
with her boyfriend, the show offered lots of other
fascinating hooks.
Hopefully with the gorgeous Courteney as the star of
Dirt and the fascinating Ian Hart as schizophrenic
photographer Don Konkey (where did they get that name)
willing to do just about anything to get the goods on
the celebrities the show holds promise for the future.
One thing's for sure. I will be glued to my TIVO
every week making sure I don't miss a single second of
Dirt.
