B5 Paragraph -- Dallas

Contrast the description in the book with the way he is portrayed in the movie.

Book                               Both           Movie
hair - light blonde                              hair-- dark brown
eyes -- blue, blazing ice                    eyes -- brown
elfish face                                          regular face
like a lynx --ears                               ears -- regular
sharp animal -- teeth                         teeth -- regular
not good looking                               handsome
chin -- pointy                                     a little pointy
doesn't like hair oil                            greasy hair
                           doesn't like kids
                           same personality

      The creators of the movie The Outsiders, changed Dallas Winston's looks from the way he is described in the book.   In the movie, instead of having blonde hair, he has dark brown.  Also, in the book he has a pointy face, but in the movie he has a more handsome, regular face.  The book describes his ears as lynx-like, but the actor in the movie has rounded ears.

The movie doesn't show everything the same as the book of The Outsiders, especially Dallas Winston's looks.
