Pics of Jack Lord sans hairpiece?

[Judith1734]

Anyone have any pictures of Jack Lord not wearing his trademark
hairpiece? Interestingly, while both hairpiece wearers Jack and Sean
Connery starred in the James Bond film "Dr. No" during the early 1960s,
only the latter (Connery) ever doffed his toupee onscreen . . . and it sure
didn't seem to hurt his fame one bit!

Connery didn't wear a hairpiece in Dr. No. Apparently his first movie
with a toupee was Marnie and his Bond picture with one was Goldfinger.

At the Hawaii Five-O convention in Burbank in 1996, Sharon Farrell
(not a favorite of many posters in this NG) stated Lord wore some kind of
thing to cover a bald spot on his crown (a la Ted Danson) but not a
regular toupee.

Sharon is full of beans (I'm being nice out of deference to our younger
users; old-fashioned I am!) I mean, she is SERIOUSLY full of beans. At
the same convention, Zulu and Kam Fong both said that Jack's crowning glory
is all his own, and Hawaii newspaper columnist Dave Donnelly, who has known
Jack ever since Five-O began back in 1968 (he appeared in a few episodes)
says definitely NO, it is not a rug.

I don't think -- to quote Mama Grant in "Once Upon a Time" -- Sharon
Farrell would know the truth if it sat next to her in church on Sunday
morning. Her grasp of the facts is at the level of the tabloids.

in fact....in the Pittsburgh area there is a ska band called "Jack
Lord's Hair"...a testement to the best head o' hair on the tube,,,
wish I could get my hair to do that "waterfall over the forehead
thing"..what was really cool was during the fight scene on the beach
during the episode where Dano shot that kid and the gun disappeared.
Steve's hair was perfectly styled at the end of the fight. Even better
is how Kono walks up to Steve with two guys in a headlock...
KONO RULES!!!!!!!

Not true. Dave Donnelly has no great love for Jack Lord and he says that it
is NOT a wig.

He may very well sincerely believe that, I don't know.
He may, at the same time, simply not care to go that far in expressing any
possible hostility he may have towards the aged JL, in case he actually knows
it's not true.
However, Jack Lord most certainly did always wear a fine, lace-front
hairpiece while acting. The WHOLE POINT is to make the hair look like it's
growing out of the scalp. The front section of this kind of hairpiece is made
of sheer, fine flesh-colored lace that must be replaced after only one or two
wearings. That's why they are basically only used professionally in acting
jobs.
Check out the photo of Lord with his wife standing in front of an airplane
(on someone's web site, I forget whose). In that case, it appears, JL (who was
travelling privately, not working when the picture was taken) was wearing a
"regular" (non-lace) hairpiece -- and it certainly LOOKS it. That is, he had
no professional hair stylist following him around to constantly ensure every
hair was in place. It *looks* like a hairpiece.
Check out that photo and I think you'll see what I mean.

Are most Five-O fans as naiive/dumb as you?

Look, dude, (or Judith 1734 or whatever you call yourself), if you have nothing
better to do with your time than to come into a newsgroup to insult people you
don't even know, then you clearly have too much time on your hands, and your
efforts would be better utilized in the alt.Scott Baio.fanclub.
newsgroup....knock yourself out!

It's his elevator shoes that I wonder about.

Did Jack Lord ever wear a wig or hairpiece?

According to Glenn Cannon, who played the Attorney General in several later
season shows, when asked why Jack Lord always wore a plantation hat, Cannon
pointed to the crown of his own head and said, "To cover his thinning spot
on the top of his head. He wore a hair piece on the show." When asked how
he knew this, he replied, "Because my chair in the makeup trailer was right
next to Jack and I would watch them put it on." On the other hand,
according to Dave Donnelly, who wrote about entertainment for the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin since the late 60's, and also appeared in some episodes
(albeit earlier ones, since Donnelly wrote a nasty parody of Jack Lord and
was not on friendly terms with Lord thereafter): "I've been around and near
Jack Lord enough to assure you he never wore a hairpiece. For all his
failings, losing his hair wasn't one of them. Granted, it was sprayed to
within an inch of its life and arranged to droop for what passed as
'casually' across his forehead, but it's his." James MacArthur, who played
Danno to Lord's McGarrett for eleven years, has confirmed this.

What is there to wonder about Jack's elevator shoes? A lot of actors wore them. Telly Savalas on Kojak wore them, and he was well over six feet tall without them. Wearing elevator shoes doesn't suggest a person is short. They can only ad so many inches to a person's height. Jack was six feet tall without elevator shoes, 6'3" with them. If you see him standing shoulder-to-shoulder with James MacArthur, he still towers over him, and James was 5'8." There were no disputes about his height.

I would love to have seen what he looked like without hair, but yes he did wear a wig, either way I just loved him, he was my hero

He did not wear a wig. I don't know where you're getting this nonsense from. His hairstylist, Cherie Huffman, wrote in her book Fondling Follicles, that his hair was his own. Don Stroud, who guest starred in 1970, 1973, and 1976, said Jack's hair was his own. He sat next to him in the makeup trailer when they were styling it. If you looked at Jack's hair, you would see his hairline, which is not visible and looks too perfect with a wig. In many shows, his hair is blowing around, which does not happen with a wig or hairpiece.

All you have to do is look at it and see it's a wig plus you can see Lord's hair change shades of brown through episodes. It's a good hairpiece no doubt but obvious to the non partisan observer. Of course most of his co-stars will deny out of loyalty to JL.

[travis...@yahoo.com]

The edges of his hair blew but not the part laced down, get real, was a wig all the way confirmed by non partisan Five O staffers.

[joyceh...@gmail.com]

I don't know about a hair piece, but Lord had the most gorgeous eyes and very handsome.
