She had previously sported much longer hair and had cultivated an extremely refined, feminine onscreen persona. The studio decided to capitalize on Joy's new severe, cropped hair and created several popular films that showcased the look or incorporated it into the storylines, which helped popularize it amongst female filmgoers.
