Historia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Maggie McOmie is an American stage and film actress, best known for co-starring with Robert Duvall in the 1971 film THX 1138. For the film, she was required to shave her head, an event that was featured in a tongue-in-cheek behind-the-scenes featurette titled Bald. McOmie was one of the few actresses approached for the part of THX's lover, LUH, to agree to cut her hair for the role. McOmie chose not to pursue a film career following THX 1138, which remains her only major film credit, although she returned to the screen in small roles in the 2006 films Grand Junction and The Boston Strangler. She performed the role of Halie in a stage production of Sam Shepard's Buried Child at Third Eye Theatre in Portland, Oregon from March 16 to April 14, 2007.

Self

The film features a conversation between Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, producer of THX 1138. They discuss Lucas' vision for the film, including his ideas about science fiction in general and in particular his concept of the "used future" which would famously feature in his film Star Wars. Intercut with this discussion is footage shot prior to the start of production of THX 1138 showing several of its actors having their heads shaved, a requirement for appearing in the film. In several cases the actors are shown being shaved in a public location. For example, Maggie McOmie is shaved outside the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, while Robert Duvall watches a sporting event as his hair is cut off. Another actor, Marshall Efron, who would later play an insane man in the film, cut off his own hair and was filmed doing so in a bathtub.
