01of 10On Her Childhood HaircutMeghan Markle.The Ellen Show"I was 10 or 11 maybe. The reason my hair looked like that back then was because I was obsessed with Andie MacDowell inFour Weddings and a Funeral,and all I wanted was that perfect curly little haircut. So I asked my mom, and we went to the hairdresser andgot itand on that first day I was like, ‘This is amazing! I look like Andie MacDowell.’ And then it was as though everyone forgot to tell me, ‘You have ethnic hair, you are not going to look like Andie MacDowell inFour Weddings and a Funeral,‘and that’s what it ended up evolving into. And I went to school and they said I looked like Krusty the Clown fromThe Simpsons. It was a real bummer."
