Was Fonda's shag ripped off by Diane Arbus?

The legendary magazine photographer Diane Arbus died one month after this movie was released in New York where she lived. Consider that the photo of Diane that I'm adding below was taken sometime in 1971, according to the biography of her by Patricia Bosworth. If the interval of a month seems tight, consider that Diane could have seen Jane Fonda's shag in magazine publicity several weeks before the movie's release. Jane appeared on the cover of Life magazine with the shag. So maybe Diane told her hairdresser to copy the movie star's shag.

The Bosworth book says Diane Arbus regularly got her hair done at the salon of an expensive Manhattan store called Henri Bendel, then located at 10 West 57th Street. It moved to another location in 1990.

Diane looks pretty good for age 48, don't you think? She was 48 when the photo of her inside her West Village, Manhattan apartment was taken by Eva Rubinstein, a photographer who later became well-known. So please click below to see " Diane Arbus' " shag.
