Kristin Chenoweth: My hair extensions saved my life!
Kristin Chenoweth regrets not suing over the injuries she sustained on 'The Good Wife.'

The former 'Wicked' star - who quit 'The Good Wife' immediately after the ordeal and ultimately appeared as journalist Peggy Byrne in just two episodes of the fourth season - went on to add that she later found out that her hair extensions "saved [her] life" as she jokingly urged fans to have fake hair pieces fitted for themselves for the sake of their own health.
Speaking on 'Watch What Happens Live', she told host Andy Cohen: "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!' So, anyone who wants to get hair extensions should, for your health
