Kirk's hair color

[Commishsleer]

Couldn't Nimoy have kept the hair between seasons to get publicity work as Spock?
I think I remember something on this site saying GR was trying to get some cut of that money or maybe forbidding it or something like that. Nimoy couldn't have made appearances as Spock without the hair I suppose. Now there's an advantage of having a wig.

Nimoy did at least two appearances as Spock outside the series.

Continuing the saga of Shatner's many hair styles/colors: I saw a Match Game rerun recently - I believe it was from '74 or '75, placing it around the time of Barbary Coast. Shatner was on it and his hair was very dark and very straight.

Kirk's movie hair looked ridiculous to me while his hair on the series was okay and fitted his look very well! Even if it was a syrup! Shame really that a heroic actor can't just play the role as he is because the public's view of a brave man always has to have bold gold locks!

I agree. Kirk's hair was great in TOS. I never would have guessed he was wearing anything but the locks he was born with.
To me Kirk's movie hair was reasonably unattractive - of the 80s. He should have put on the grey hairand been the grey-fox like Pike was in the Kelvin-movies.
I can't imagine Kirk as bald. Call me shallow. I am ashamed.

Has anyone actually got a snap of the shat without his wig? I'll bet he's too cagey to be ever caught like that!

The Making of Star Trek photo of him getting made up for "The Deadly Years" might almost qualify.

I'm afraid I haven't seen that gem, Zap!

I think that pic shows the “middle-aged” toupee firmly in place.

The audio commentary to Doctor Who: Logopolis has the actors reminiscing about one of the guest star’s having a wig put on over his hairpiece. Even though everyone knew he was bald, he couldn’t bear to be seen sans toupee.

I think that must have been Anthony Ainley who played The Master in the eighteenth series! I've read that wore a piece for the show and in some episodes it is obvious while others not! But he also had his own which caused the makeup people trouble in the story Time-Flight, where he had to play The Master pretending to be an alien mystic and he told them to place the headpiece over his wig which would have been madness because he wouldn't acknowledge that he was already wearing a wig!!! It took the producer to have a quiet word with him to get him to take the thing off his head and let the make-up people do their job!

Certain points in season 3 Shatners hair looks almost TMP like (thicker/darker/curlier than the finer/lighter/straighter season 1/2 hair). its almost like a midway point between the classic TOS Kirk hairdo of Season1/2..and the Movie Kirk hairdo (which altered slightly movie to movie). maybe audiences in 79 who'd watched season3 in reruns (and his inbetween 'Lost Years' stuff Colombo, etc) wernt that shocked by the transition ?

I admit that my toupee radar has been broken for a long time. I guess if you don’t look for it you don’t see it. I think it was ok looking.

Then he could have gotten a Spock haircut if he'd needed it for an appearance.

The Pat Westmore mentioned in that memo is the aunt of make up artist Michael Westmore.

Shatner looks so much better on the right IMO.

Yes he could have but did he?
IDid Nimoy do any work on break between seasons without the Spock hair?

The Westmores are a whole dynasty, much like the Newmans in film music.
