Kristin Chenoweth says hair extensions saved her life when she was injured on The Good Wife set
“I didn’t do it out of fear and anxiety,” Chenoweth says. “So don’t ever let fear rule your life. I have long-standing injuries from that. I wished I had listened to my dad, who said, ‘You’re gonna wanna do this.’ And we’re not the suing family, but when you’re practically killed...”
Back in 2012, Chenoweth was set for a recurring character role on the CBS drama, when a piece of lighting equipment fell on her during filming in Brooklyn.“I heard, like, a flagpole sound. I literally heard, ‘We’re losing the light.’ I heard, ‘Action.’ And I woke up at Bellevue [Hospital],” she explains to host Andy Cohen. “It hit me in the face and it threw me into a curb. Seven-inch skull fracture, hairline [fracture], and teeth and ribs.
As it turns out, Chenoweth lived through the injury by the grace of her hair extensions, which held her fractured skull in one piece.All you need to do is sign up with your email and boom: credit for your preorder on a new Samsung device.“My hair extensions, you know, made the hairline fracture go together. My doctor said, ‘What are these metal things?’ And I said, ‘They’re hair extensions.’ And he said, ‘They saved your life,’” she says.
“I was advised by a couple of folks on my team and outside of my team too that it would be unwise to attempt to hold CBS accountable for what was clearly their responsibility,” she wrote, per an excerpt obtained by. “I was told that I’d never work again if I sued a major network. And that scared me. I let fear take over and did what so many people do—especially women—in the face of going up against someone or something more powerful than they are. I shrunk.
