Is this the film where she's freaking out with the hair brush?


I remember when I was little, my mom and I were at her friend's house and there was a movie playing on TV. In one scene in particular there was a girl brushing her hair and she sees big clumps of hair stuck in her brush and then she starts crying and pulling her hair out.

I saw this movie years after that, but I can't recall that scene. Just wondering if they were the same.

I know there is a scene in recent The Little Princess film like that.

It's definitely not this film. She doesn't lose any hair here. In fact, it's surprising how healthy she looks all the way through for a girl who is dying.

I think the film you`re referring to was called `Love Lives On`with Mary Stewart Masterson. she plays a young woman who successfully got her drug addiction under control and then finds out that she has a rare and deadly stomach cancer. In one scene `Susan`gets very, very emotional as her hair starts falling out. It was based on a true story.

I'm familiar with Love Lives On as well. It's possible I got the two confused. Thanks for the replies!

"Promises In The Dark" possibly?
