Best known as Kitty Forman on “That ‘70s Show,” Debra Jo Rupp has donned Kitty’s iconic feathered wig once again for the Netflix sequel “That ‘90s Show.” The final episodes of the original series aired almost 20 years ago, yet Kitty and her husband Red (played by Kurtwood Smith) remain ageless.
Rupp has some thoughts about Kitty’s unchanging hairstyle: “I, as Debra Jo Rupp, have had the same hairdo for 40 years and I bet you have too. You find the one that you go, ‘You know what, this looks OK and I don’t want to risk getting something I can’t live with for the next few months.’ So we had a long talk about Kitty’s hair and it is kind of iconic. She thinks it’s pretty! I know it’s sad — it’s so sad — but I think this is how she thinks she looks the prettiest. So we went back to it. It’s a little flatter and a little softer — but not much.”
Rupp’s other credits include everything from “Big” (as Tom Hanks’ secretary) to “Friends” (as Phoebe’s sister-in-law) to the Marvel series “WandaVision” (she’ll be returning in “Agatha: Coven of Chaos”). Plus: “Seinfeld,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “This Is Us” and an extensive list of stage credits.
