Hair's to you!

Supposedly, Sean Connery wore a chest hairpiece as James Bond, because someone didn't think his natural chest hair looked virile enough or something.

Baloney. There are so many pictures of shirtless Connery pre and post Bond to prove the lie to that idea.

I'm skeptical about it too. He looks pretty hairy in Zardoz as I remember it.

I've seen Shatner in television appearances before Trek, notably in Man from UNCLE, and his hairstyle looks the same, but UNCLE was at least a year or two before the studio was buying custom hairpieces for him. They must have been going through his own stylist.

That's his real hair in my avatar pic to the left there.

Wonder why Riker didn't have to shave his chest? He's even more in the future than Kirk!

Speaking of TNG, someone posted this on my FB page recently.

Wonder why Gene Roddenberry hated chest hair on his actors?

I think I read somewhere that he felt that chest hair on men wouldn't be wildly popular in the future.

Maybe he thought a few more centuries of eevolutin' would get rid of it. He apparently thought that about fingernails.

It got caught in his teeth?

Wait...are we talking male or female actors?

Omg! This retort was so funny! Well played!

I Am so bad at noticing hair pieces, unless it's way obvious.
Shatner has gone so long with his piece that it's impossible for him to loose it....unless he plays a part like lex Luther or something.

Does anyone know where this pic came from? Is it from a TV show or a photoshopped piece? The site I found it on doesn't reference it specifically other than talking about Shatner's "many hairlines."

That is almost certainly a photoshopped simulation.

 

[Melakon]

Yeah, hair at the back looks a bit too high.

Riker's chest hair is prominently visible in "The Naked Now".

 

[allstar77]

^ It is?

 

[Melakon]

It's definitely on display in "Angel One" when he wears the native male clothing.

Yeah, in some scenes you can see it visible in the uniform collar, just sticking out the top near the neck. Of course, given the plot it might be deliberate...

It's definitely on display in "Angel One" when he wears the native male clothing.

Stangely enough I'd actually forgotten that example.

Harry mudd!!

 

[allstar77]

That's it! Shatner can come back as Harry Mudd in the next movie!

Re: Hair you go!

How many of the original crew were wearing wigs?

Shatner, Koenig, Nichols, Barrett, and Whitney make five.

Koenig just wore that horrible "Beatle" wig until his hair grew long enough that the ST hair stylist could do a massive hair wrap around. Just seeing his real hair combed like that made we hope that his wig would come back.

Good. Because that picture freaked me out a little.

Shatner has displayed so many different "hairstyles" over his career. Does anyone know if his latest scalp fur is transplanted or a rug?
