Before Connie Britton was starring in shows like Friday Night Lights and Nashville, she was just a girl in college. Back in the ’80s the Dartmouth student went to Beijing to study abroad with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. Fast forward to today, the elected official has written a book,
Off the Sidelines, including stories about that summer and she shared a photo of herself with her then roommate.
I can’t get over how different Britton looks with short dark feathered hair. What a difference several inches make on her. Back then, she would not be as well known for locks as she is now. But hey, we have all had awkward hair phases and this was hers.
You know what I also took away from this photo, it’s incredible how much she looked like her television daughter, Aimee Teegarden, back then. Don’t they have the same face. Phenomenal casting by the people at FNL.
