True, but a partial piece to cover the backof his head.
However, he's now thinning big-time in front, I believe.
> Marv Alpert
Albert, not Alpert.
> Bob Hope
No, I don't think so. Not in the past couple of decades. He DID color his
hair, however.
> Steve Martin
Still amazes me when I read this. When did he start? I once saw a
1960s/early1970s photo of him
and he definitely had a full head of dark, combed-back hair.
Of course, he MUST HAVE worn a lace-front piece in that movie he did some
years back in which his hair was slicked back lounge-lizard style.
> Paul Gleiser
Paul Reiser. Another that kinda surprises me.
> Jack Klugman
Only when working.
> Neil Diamond
Since when? I knew he was thinning-out on top for years.
> Tony Bennet
Tony Bennett has gone from his 1960s persona wearing a flat Cosell-like rug
to probably the BEST airy, natural-looking full-wig (as opposed to a hairpiece)
in the entertainment biz. He's never looked better.
> Tony Randall
One of the best in the biz. Never seen in public w/o it.
> Wayne Newton
Hmmm . . . I knew he was thinning in the 1980s and that jet-black hair color
didn't help. Then last week I saw him on tv singing from Vegas recently, and he
was definitely fuller on top. Maybe plugs?
> John Wayne *
Probably among the worst rugs in the biz.
> Steve Allen
Has also worn dreadful rugs. The rug's hair and his hair just don't match
texture-wise.
> Humphrey Bogart *
True.
> Dean Martin*
No. That was Dino's real hair.
> Bing Crosby*
True.
> Liberache *
Liberace. Wore a fine lace-front for years. Then switched to fake-looking
regular rugs. Probably tired of the upkeep lace-front pieces demand.
> Howard Cossell *
*THE* worst rug on record.
> Unconfirmed:
> Harvey Mandel
Now confirmed.
> Kevin Dobson
Looks 100% better than he did before he started wearing.
> Jack Lord
BIG, BIG "open secret." Confirmed rug wearer. The National Enquirer once
described his hair as, "The best hairpiece in the business."
ALWAYS wore a $1000+ lace-front job while working. Took to wearing big,
floppy hats while strolling on the beach in later years. Couldn't bear to let
people see him bald. A sad case. Even his biggest fans are unaware of/deny his
hairpiece use.
> Robert De Niro (moved to unconfirmed)
I can tell you, he does NOT wear a piece.
Believe it or not, that was a bald cap w/a Mohawk doo he wore in "Taxi
Driver".
> Christpher Reeves
Used to suffer from alopecia (complete bodilyhair loss), maybe still does.
Has bigger things to worry about than his hairloss.
> Kirk Douglass
No, NOT a piece.
> In the Movies:
>
> Sean Connery
Yup, well-known. Now wears one in his latest flick.
> Bruce Willis
The ugliest, stupidist piece I've ever seen. Should just wear a full piece
rather than try to make people think it's his real, "receding" hair.
Need pieces:
> Ron Howard ( Looks goofy with no hair)
Yes. At least should have his side hair cut close. Recently saw an
early-1970s episode of "Happy Days" and wondered whether he wore a rug in THAT
show. Could very well have been. His brother and father are also very bald.
> Transplants:
> Jerry Seinfeld
Sure? I know his hair is thinning greatly. As is that of his former co-star
who played "Kramer."
Here are some more rug wearers for ya:
Pat Boone ( a full wig)
Hal Fishman (tv news anchor/reader -- recently went from fake-looking
lace-front D.A. style to more modern, airy side-combed doo, looks MUCH better)
John Stossel -- ABC tv 20/20 reporter -- his once-thick dark hair was thinning
out tremendously for awhile -- you could actually see his scalp -- must have
had plugs/rugs done in recent years
Hugh Downs -- 20/20 anchor -- a pioneer in the entertainment biz many years ago
when he openly announced he'd had plugs done
Bobby Hull -- former hockey star
Jim Bouton (sp?) -- rebellious, controversial ex-Yankee and later sports
reporter who wrote "Ball Four" about his career in the major leagues -- rug and
maybe plugs too

Not that I wish to become involved in this discussion...But, back when he
was directing his tv series, "Tribeca", I saw a photograph of him in the
newspaper, and he was completely bald. If you see him lately, most of the
time he has the "obvious signs" of a rug. Look at his hair in Copland, look
at it in Maddog and Glory. As well, you can see him sans rug in The
Untouchables.
In his early films, he has a very slight recession. However, in his later
films, he has an obvious thick comb-over rug.

His brother should definately do something...everytime I see him he looks like
he had his head in a paint shaker. ///ES
just my opinion...I could be wrong
Timeo25082
Tom Cruise -- 35 yo, and he's never lost a strand *sigh*
George Clooney -- the man started a revolution with his ER 'do.
Richard Gere -- still thicker and healthier than ever--my girlfriend likes him
better grey. arrrgg!
Andy Garcia -- this guy is a classic example of somebody who's definitely got
the androgens (hairy gorilla, heavy beard) but his scalp receptors certainly
ain't affected.
Leo DiCaprio -- opposite end of the scale. yeah, the kid's got great hair (i
think he's 24) but he looks like he's never had a single whisker in his
life...psuedohemaphrodite? =)~

I saw him with his head shaved in a press conference for Great Expectations.
He clearly had the stubble of someone with a full head of hair. Not the kind of
thing that could be faked.
Steve
actor", an individual who prepares for a part by totally immersing himself in
his character.
As such he gains or losses weight, shaves his head, and/or wears wigs for his
roles. He has a pretty full head of hair in real life. If you have seen him
bald, wearing a rug, etc., it's because he was either preparing for a part of
coming off one.
For example, in the movie "The Untouchables", he gained a lot of weight to play
Al Capone and partially shaved his head. For a good example of his own hair,
check out the movie "Midnight Run" with Charles Grodin. Also the movie with
Robin Williams (Awake something?) where he plays a man who comes out of a coma
after 40 years.
Bobby De Niro does not wear a rug in real life. That's his hair (when it's grown
in)

You are so wrong--it's laughable. DeNiro will shave his head--wear wigs--do
anything possible for a film role. But--he has a full head of hair. Gimme a
break!!

The National Enquirer? This constitutes "proof"?
Hmmm... let's see, I asked Dave Donnelly, a Honolulu columnist who once wrote a
scathing parody called "Jack Lord, Superstar." He said no. I also asked James
MacArthur, who worked with Lord for 11 years. He said no. (This was after Lord
died.)

Admittedly, I'm sure Tom never won a five-o-clock shadow contest.

He spends over 200$ a month to keep it in... wish I could spend money
like that.
About Robert deNiro, Dan Akroyd once -jokingly- said in a European
tv-show (dunno which one) that he has all his hair still because he
used to be so heavy a coke-user...
Anyone tried using coke instead of minoxidil? ;)

Brad Pitt and his pal Geo Clooney have extensive hair transplants- the modern type- not plugs. Clooney has had thousands of them.
Ok, you don't believe me! Check out how very far back the front corners had receded when he was young! Today it's all hair to the front. Those are not pieces.
Of course Bob Hope didn't wear one. Of course Crosby did!
