It was in the genes!!


Bill's dad Joe Shatner.

There is a striking resemblance!

Note: this is a publicly available photo (taken here from the Shatner E! True Hollywood documentary). Slightly enhanced here to remove a watermark at the bottom right of the picture.

  1. male pattern baldness is inherited from the mother not the father. Don't know is Shatner is bald or balding but what is father's hairline did is genetically irrelevant.

  2. No. The contention that male pattern baldness is inherited exclusively from the mother's side and that the father's ancestry does not play a genetic role is not given credence by the scientific community.

  3. You're both wrong! Baldness can come from the father's side.
