I'm not quite sure what answer, if any, I'm expecting here, but, after reading some people's accounts of meeting Mr Shatner at various conventions, it seems to me that autograph hunters/purchasers might potentially get more acknowledgement of their existence from the faux hair rather than the man himself. I speak as a big, big fan of Mr Shatner (thankfully not in a sexual way-not yet anyway), but genuinely wish he did exercise a bit more graciousness toward the people who ultimately have helped him become the star he is.

B...yes this is indeed, young shatner, without toup! But he possibly, already even at 20, had a huge ego! I saw him, at an autograph show, in 2005, he was signing, so quickly that some, autographs, where upside down, he did not make, any eye contact, with anyone, the only star there, that day who acted, like that. I got him to sign 3 for me, at a cost, of 75 pounds, then loudly said, to him "thank you william", then the living toupee said "thank you" back. Where there is absolutly no doubt, about him as a good actor, as a man....mmmm i reserve judgement.shat toupnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-68911297611828753402010-12-18T20:03:38.422+01:002010-12-18T20:03:38.422+01:00Shatner loves to lie about things though.

There comes a point where you can't go back.<br /><br />Like Alan Brady in the Dick Van Dyke episode where he has about 6 toupees that regress from a full head of hair to baldness because he's tired of wearing one and wants to be bald all the time.Desthttp://scenteddemented.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-51203955491645010472010-10-27T05:42:20.120+02:002010-10-27T05:42:20.120+02:00Did Shat ever have an Enemy Within moment where he...Did Shat ever have an Enemy Within moment where he said "i wanna go back" where he wanted to ditch the hair transplant and just wear a toup all the time?Toupular Bellsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-47822864305758111092010-10-26T12:21:23.651+02:002010-10-26T12:21:23.651+02:00Wow!

I had no...Wow! Interesting! (As Spock would say)<br /><br />I had no idea he was acting on film as early as that. As an above poster has mentioned, Shat's 'real' hair was spookily TJ Hooker style in his youth. Perhaps nostaglia for his lost curly locks prompted him to sport the hilarious TJ Hooker toup!<br /><br />The Jim Kirk lace really suited him. I shall always 'believe' that to be his real hair.
