As a person who is missing fingers, albeit not a famous person, I don’t understand why actors/actresses do so much to hide the fact they are missing a digit.

Yeah, Three Finger Brown (known to his teammates as Miner) lost a finger and a half on his pitching hand in a farm equipment accident as a child. They really should have called him Three and a Half Finger Brown. Brown was one of the first pre-Ruth baseball stars in the early 1900s and is in the Hall of Fame.

I bet you could find lots of photos of yakuza guys with various fingers missing.

Actually, Gary Burghoff was missing a digit. And he did hide in all scenes. He was always carrying something in that hand. So if you watch the episodes now knowing to look for it you can sometimes catch quick glimpses.

I am amazed that all of these fingers are missing as I have been receiving fingers from other drivers for many years.
