I'll start---
Tony Curtis' rug--

Carl Levin--combover

vjf1968 · July 9th, 2008, 01:56 PM

Whatever wig Phil Spector is wearing or has ever wore.

The Carl Levin photos is giving me the willies!

That part way down the side, and then the hair above that has to be grown quite long in order to reach to the other side of his head...

When he gets up in the morning he must be quite a sight!

I've definitely lost my appetite now.

Howdy,

ROFLMAO! Keep 'em coming, ya'll.

PS: Can anyone post a pic of the team announcer Jim Carr from the film "Slapshot"? Of course his wig was supposed to look bad.

Oh man... If you're going bald you should embrace it! Those pictures look awful!

If you're REALLY bothered by the balding process then just shave your head, then no-one is any the wiser to how much hair you would have

Not sure how much of a celbrity he is, but Gene Keady, former head basketball coach at Purdue University has a ridonculous combover:

Sorry I couldn't find one from the back- it's the only way to truly appreciate it.

And, yes I'm an Indiana basketball fan.

Tony Curtis appears to be wearing a helmet of some sort, except the chinstrap seems to be missing.

DrewB · July 9th, 2008, 09:12 PM

Nobody's gonna mention Carl Perkins?! He had several bad rugs over the years, but that juiced-up curly shag job he had in the '80s was the nadir of rugs. Unfortunately, I haven't found a good pic of it online.

Combovers are their own subculture, with the emphasis on sub.

Chris Leger · July 9th, 2008, 09:14 PM

I believe this is the rug in question.

Admittedly, he's posed & coiffed for this shot... this is as good as it ever got.

Freight Twang · July 9th, 2008, 09:17 PM

OMG, Pat Boone...... This had to be embarrassing.

Yeah, that's the one, but have you seen it when it was really juicy?! That's as gawd-awful as it could get!

Chris Leger · July 9th, 2008, 09:51 PM

Oh yeah, I remember seeing him on TV in that wig, many times.

Like I said, that piece never looked better than in this photo.

Sam Donaldson.

We still call a comb-over a "Bobby Charlton".

Hero of the 1966 World Cup and one of the all-time nicest guys in the World.

Chris Leger · July 10th, 2008, 09:52 AM

Bobby Charlton and David Gergen - separated at birth?

castpolymer · July 10th, 2008, 10:08 AM

William Shatner ( especially in the 80's Star Trek movies ). His hairpiece was spun by Satan himself.
