It looks as if someone doesn’t have their facts quite straight. Humphrey Bogart did wear a toupee for a few brief years in the 1950s for film roles after he had hormone treatments in order to conceive a child/children with Lauren Bacall which caused his hair to fall out. He was photographed a number of times in public without his hairpiece. His hair grew back in when he stopped the treatments around 1953, So Anders is likely correct that by 1955 he had a good head of hair.

Brendan Fraser wears hair.

Brad Pitt seems to wear it occasionally – not really sure why, but in some of his appearances, he appears to be wearing a full wig. (His hair color also varies greatly.)

Sorry to disappoint you but I have 8mm film from 1955 when Lauren Bacall was making Blood Alley (with John Wayne) in S.F. She and Bogie were at the S.F. Zoo and my dad took movies of them. No hairpiece for Bogie.

Oh, yeah–Nic Cage, worst hairjob ever. He should toup on top of his hairjob.

Late contribution, but:

Some have had hairjobs, transplants, and what not. Tom Arnold, Michael Keaton, Kevin James, Matthew McConaughy (yes, really, check out his mugshots). Most of these guys are easy to spot as their hair changes over there career.

All this to say, that I think Jeremy Piven is a transplant guy, not a wig guy (he was so bald at one point that he played the George Costanza character on the TV-show within a Tv-show on Seinfeld!)

What about Elton John? Transplant or Wig? George Kennedy toup’ed, Robert Picardo toup’ed on TV but never in public. Travolta toups in public but not at home, as does Brendan Fraser–candids are out there floating about on the Interwebs… Robert Forster has the worst hairjob ever–he transplanted and then it kept falling out, but he seems ok with it, and appears as is…

I think Shatner’s is some sort of weave – I’ve seen him up close, and you can see his scalp through it, whatever it is. But it’s not a bad effort at all, looks fairly natural, if you didn’t know he’d been fighting hair loss since the 60′s.

Didn’t Connery do a film where he wore a toupee throughout, then ripped it off on-screen at the end? I think it was ‘Cuba’, and it wasn’t in the script.
