Thanks to a reader for this. Alas, no date or source (please let us know). Suffice to say it is a very young Shatner, probably mid-1950s. The thinning at the front is very noticeable, but we can't say for sure that he isn't wearing a toup at the back of his head to cover a thinning crown.
UPDATE: According to a commenter: "Taken on April 11, 1957 during the filming of an episode of the TV anthology series The Alfred Hitchcock Hour entitled 'The Glass Eye'." Many thanks.

If he isn't wearing a toupee in this, it's probably one of the last shows he did without one.
