They don't teach you about toupees in elementary school. I think that's definitely a topic that should be covered.

Thanks! <br /><br />@lumpenproletariat, that's an interesting shot - while we don't see a bald patch, we can definitely see the toup line.<br /><br />@The Enemy Within, our toupologists tell us that's likely just an overhead spotlight (sorry)! <br /><br />@anonymous (no. 1 - on that point, we've been trying to encourage (please!!!) users to write in usernames in the name/url section of the "comment as" tab to prevent numerous "anonymous" comments) thanks for that anecdote - we heard a similar story from STV from an inside source a while back who worked on the film.

When Shatner was filming a horse riding scene..maybe he was subbing for Lawrence Luckinbill in the opening sequence..as the camera was rolling, the fierce winds were so strong that it blew off his toupee!!! The few crew that were around broke down and laughed but, reportedly, Shatner was so incensed that he fired them on the spot. I wish that scene made it to YouTube, but I suspect Shatner burned the print, himself."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-36791936599066655542010-07-20T06:42:01.029+02:002010-07-20T06:42:01.029+02:00I noticed a bald spot at the back of Shatner's...I noticed a bald spot at the back of Shatner's head in the following Star Trek TOS blooper video, from 0:11 to 0:16 as Kirk rolls around on the floor with Janice Rand.
