Katherine's wig

[Sarah]

Just rewatching the scene where Bobby is hit by the car that Katherine is driving and she is wearing her blonde wig again. I wonder why she found the need to wear this in the car? Did she not expect to die? And how did she manage to drive so abysmally that she didn't escape? Hence the wig...she would only need the wig if she escaped.

Why did she not swerve once she'd hit Bobby???

She was blind with bloodlust. She just wanted to kill, kill, kill and no longer cared who it was or who died -- even herself.

In Dallas, that's what real love is.

I still say the lawnsman who pulls off her wig is the same extra who rushes to Sue Ellen when she escapes the asylum and crashes the telephone pole --- is it Katzman himself???,

I think the point of wearing the blonde wig in the car was to either pin Pam’s murder on Jenna and therefore kill two birds with one stone by getting rid of them both or she wore it simply as a disguise so no one would ever know she was the driver, expecting to live of course.

The bigger question for me is: why was she wearing that wig to watch TV at home?

Was she breaking it in or something?

Maybe they figured if we saw her without the wig we’d guess it was Katherine much easier?

Of course they really didn’t have to show her hair in that scene at all. That could’ve avoided the whole problem cause wearing the wig indoors never made sense to me.

She was also still on the run from the law for shooting Bobby, so maybe she got so used to disguises they became natural to her. Maybe she didn't even know who she was anymore.
There's a goldmine of stories about Katherine and what was going through her mind. They could have made a t.v
movie about called Katherine; Love on the Run, or Katherine: Blue Eyes, Black Heart.

Oh, we've all done that.

 

[Taylor Bennett Jr.]

if she really wanted to go full-on with the disguise she should have gotten some brown contacts!

That wasn't Katherine then.

It was Barbara Bel Geddes getting upset that Donna Reed was gonna be at Bobby's wedding!

I always thought maybe her obsession with Bobby had gotten to the point that she wanted to be Jenna, and that was the reason for the wig.. just a thought. How else would the TV scene make sense?

So you sit at home wearing a long blonde wig Snarky!?!

It's all coming out now!

Well, maybe the tomato juice went up to her head and she got even crazier. Maybe she had a ton of wigs in her bags, à la Angelica Nero: one for each activity. Blonde was for killing, red for buying groceries, etc.

Little sweet Kathy, always a fashion victim.

I did go blond for a while in my twenties -- although that was before anyone had invented bleach. So we just used a stone on a rock down by the river until we had ground all the pigment out of my hair. And then rinsed it in urine to obtain just the correct shade.

I didn't turn homicidal as a blond -- at least as far as I can remember. But I could go out and bring down a major stag during hunting season, so maybe it helped.
