“I literally trembled with fear”

It was absolutely terrifying when it started. I was in my shower and had handfuls of hair in my hands. I said to myself that I was going bald, it was the first time in my life that I literally trembled with fear “, she explains visibly very moved. "That's why I cut my hair, more and more each time. […] You don’t decide whether to have hair or not “, continues the beautiful forties. If she admits that taking care of her thick hair was once "a magnificent beauty ritual", the one who starred in The Nutty Professor has found a more than satisfactory alternative with turbans. “When my hair is wrapped in a scarf, I feel like a queen “, she confides. The actress says that she has managed to put her situation into perspective as she goes along because she is aware that others are facing more trying experiences. “People have cancers, have unhealthy children… A force beyond us takes things away from people every day, and if it wants to take my hair, I reckon that's not much “, concludes the mother of the family. Congratulations to her for this moment of truth which will undoubtedly help many people in the same situation to take responsibility for themselves!
