Comedian Kathy Griffin is back in the headlines again today, but this time it’s for her hair — or lack thereof. The actress, 56, has shaved her hair in support of her sister’s battle with cancer.

The news broke on Twitter on monday, July 31, when writer Yashir Ali posted pictures of the Emmy Award winner’s freshly shaved head with the caption, “In solidarity with her sister who is going through chemo, @kathygriffin shaved her head.” The only sign of her famous red locks left: Her fiery eyebrows.

Her mother, Maggie, was also pictured rubbing the actress’ scull while she posed with her hand folded under her chin in an angelic way. Longtime fans may recognize her from her frequent appearances on Griffin’s show Life on the D List, which ran from 2005 to 2010.
