Hollywood Hair Hall Of Fame
The Hollywood Hair Hall of Fame is an attempt to pay homage to those actors who have not only brought joy to our lives with their acting, but have graced us with the presence of their tremendous hair. This thread will count down my top ten "great hair" list.

#10 - Val Kilmer
Effective in both serious and comedic roles, Val Kilmer's hair is similarly versatile in whatever role he plays. He clocks in at #10 on my Hollywood Hair Hall Of Fame.
Val Kilmer in "Top Secret" In his first starring role, Val sported a cool 50's era flip, kind of a quasi-homage to Elvis Presley and the California surfing scene. Val Kilmer in "Real Genius" Val's hair is similar to "Top Secret", but a bit less stylized. While it looks cool, nothing could prepare us for what was coming. Val Kilmer in "Top Gun" As the "Iceman", Val created perhaps the greatest single hair style in modern film history. Awesome. I've been told that just looking at Val in "Top Gun" has been known to cause women to spontaneously cream their pants. Val Kilmer in "Willow" As Madmardigan, Val goes brunette for the first time, and sports some greasy extensions. An interesting contrast from Tom Kazanski, to be sure. Val Kilmer in "The Doors" Playing Jim Morrison, Val adopts Jim's shaggy do and convincingly pulls it off. He almost looks like a Morrison doppelganger. Well done. Val Kilmer in "Batman Forever" In his one and done Batman appearance, Val sports a neatly trimmed, more "full head of hair" look for Bruce Wayne; quite a departure from the previous Batman (Michael Keaton, who decidedly does not make this list). Not a career highlight. Val Kilmer in "Heat" Val goes back to his famous blonde locks in this Michael Mann thriller. Pulled back into a ponytail, I almost couldn't tell who was who in his scenes with Ashley Judd. Interesting look visually, and differentiates his character from Pacino and DeNiro. Val Kilmer in "Wonderland" As John Holmes, Val breaks out a 70's era perm to great effect. The authentic wispy mustache is a fantastic accentuating touch. Forget about the huge penis and the cocaine; it is clear why chicks wanted to bang this guy. Congratulations, Val Kilmer. |

Re: #10 - Val Kilmer
Tdarko - have you forgotten about a certain older gentleman who has given us amazing hair performances in movies such as Black Rain, Wall Street, Romancing the Stone, etc?
Michael Douglas needs to go #2 or #1. It would be criminal if he doesn't. -Al |

Re: #10 - Val Kilmer
Aloysius,
you are correct in that michael douglas has fantastic hair and he even rocks the salt n' pepper look better than just about any. the only reason i would think that he would be #3 or #4 is that he hasn't been as versatile with his looks as depp and especially brad pitt though i bet douglas looks pimp no matter what. if you remember, there was a time when whatever hair brad pitt had women were then craving as the new "it" hair-do in hollywood, kind of like tom cruise for awhile as well, though nuts as he is will probably rank pretty high on this list eh? but yeah, douglas is sweet! |

Re: Hollywood Hair Hall Of Fame
Before I continue, let me clarify that the list is composed entirely of male film actors. I am not Blackwell, or gay, so there are no chicks here. Also, wigs did not make this list. In doing this original list, I got to thinking, and decided that there will be "Hollywood Hair Hall of Fame: TV Edition" and "Toupee Edition" threads in the future. William Shatner "may" appear on one of these lists.

Re: Hollywood Hair Hall Of Fame
Vibesman - What's up with Danson's hair? He went from having this great coif during Cheers, to looking like it was thinning, to it being really grey and stubbly. Toup or plugs? Also it looks like all the color has drained from his face.
Sam - I would enjoy these suggested threads on this topic. -Al |
