The woman who played big-haired Marlene in Only Fools and Horses, Sue Holderman, has told of how she lost a substantial amount of hair after pregnancy and later on, possibly as a result of anxiety.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring my pregnancy, my hair was gorgeous. Then I had Harriet and it all fell out after three months. It did frighten me, but I thought I was just tired and run down as new mothers are.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter I had Freddie in 1987, my hair fell out again, but not as badly. It was two years later that my hair fell out in earnest and I wondered if I might have to face the future bald.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Holderman suffered panic attacks and stage fright for several years and thinks this had an impact on her hair loss. She was prescribed beta blockers which she believes helped to a degree. With any instance of hair loss, it is vital that you see your doctor to get properly diagnosed as there are many possible causes and treatment varies accordingly.<\/p>\n
BBC make-up artists were aware of Holderman\u2019s condition and worked to disguise it. However, they could do nothing about the distress she felt.<\/p>\n
Holderman is currently suffering no hair loss, thanks to different treatments and a change in diet.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor one of the very first times in my life, my hair is not an issue – and I cannot tell you what a relief that is.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
