In the episode ‘Fanatic’, Lex Luther tells a group of students that to secure the election they must go an extra ten more miles then usual and that total victory is the only acceptable outcome. Their leader Samantha (Annie Burgstede) impresses Lex with her encyclopedic knowledge of him but she takes his words literally. When she resorts to attempting to assassinate the rival candidate she shaves her head to emulate her idol; but her efforts are not appreciated as she expects.
Annie Burgstede had her head shaved for the role and said: ‘it’s been an incredible experience doing life without it [her hair] ’. In her case the sacrifice really paid off; she went on to guest as a bald corpse on CSI: ‘they were looking for a bald-headed girl, or a short-haired girl to be on CSI, so I fit the role’.
Natalie Cosco is the makeup department head on the show.
