Mary Cooper from Young Sheldon Looks Stunning in Real Life

Zoe Perry looks adorable in a pixie haircut

Before she sported her signature shoulder-length locks, Zoe Perry entranced fans with a cropped pixie cut in 2010. While the sides and back were buzzed short, she kept the crown of her hair long enough for a messy side part and tousled bangs. The short ‘do showed off the amber highlights in her naturally brunette hair, which complemented Perry’s blue eyes. She wasn’t starring in “Young Sheldon” back then, so she didn’t have to look the part of a conservative Texan housewife. Instead, Perry was a rising star who made her 2013 Broadway debut in “The Other Place” alongside her mom, Laurie Metcalf. “I loved going to the theater! My parents brought me to see a lot, and I was awe-inspired by it, but it intimidated me,” she told Broadway.com.

In July 2024, the Facebook page Young Sheldon TV 5 shared a picture of Perry’s pixie cut showing off her translucent brown hair with the caption, “The beauty of Zoe Perry.” A fan raved, “Love this picture of her. Looks great, the short hair.” Another wrote, “Looks completely different!!” One compared her to Mary Cooper’s hairstyle and replied, “I knew she’d look 1000% better without that drippy tv hair!”
