Thursday, November 1, 2007

Hilary SwankOscar winner Hilary Swank has received a haircut from talk show host Oprah Winfrey as part of a cancer charity campaign.

The Million Dollar Baby star had been growing her locks long so she could donate them to a cancer sufferer, through hair product giant Pantene's Beautiful Lengths campaign.

The charity push aims to encourage women and men to cut and donate their hair for wigs to aid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

During an appearance on U.S. TV's Oprah Winfrey Show, set to air in America on Friday , Swank had nine inches of her flowing hair cut off by the media mogul.

She said, "I've been growing it for the last six months to donate my hair.

I've been taking a lot of vitamins and taking really good care of it, knowing that it would go to a woman in need".

Winfrey added, "It's taken months to get to this moment. It involves a two-time Academy Award winner, a sharp object, and me".
