He had a bald spot at the very top of his head which you can see (check out after he gets the improved surgical skill in 'Spock's Brain'). That being said, I question the hair color.<br /><br />In the movies I'm not so sure that's his real hair. <br /><br />Regarding Doohan, I think the commentary as Kelley applies, though I'm not sure if he dyed his hair.<br /><br />As for Nimoy ...<br /><br />I always believed the long bowl-like hair on his head was a wig or piece. This isn't to say that Nimoy was or is bald, but rather he wore his hair in a crew cut, and the makeup people would then place the bowl hair on top. If the long hair is in fact his, then call me impressed!MVPOnlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339409505278113593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249569588037368037.post-30008201999640257502009-08-06T07:20:12.438+02:002009-08-06T07:20:12.438+02:00I kind of doubt it.

Who else wore a toupee on the show (or later in the movies)? I've seen an interview where Walter Koenig admits to it... and while I think Deforest Kelley's hair on the Show was real, once you start getting to the movie era and beyond I begin to question it... but then again, Nimoy still has all of his hair at that age... OR DOES HE!? <br />What do you think?Cadetnoreply@blogger.com
