Celebrity Toupees Quiz | Hairless Celebrities

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This favourite celebrity played a space captain on a popular science fiction TV series. If he had been tempted to BEAM UP a little TRIBBLE onto his head, I'm sure it would've fit him to a T (for Tiberius). Instead, he made no BONES about it and eventually decided to "boldly go where many had gone before" and had hair restoration surgery. Who is this "trekking" celebrity?

Answer: William Shatner

William Shatner was born in Montreal, Canada on March 22, 1931. He is most famous for playing Captain James "Tiberius" Kirk on the cult science fiction series "Star Trek". One episode dealt with the proliferation of small furry creatures on the Enterprise called "tribbles".

One can imagine Dr. "Bones" McCoy (the late, excellent actor DeForest Kelley) exasperatingly saying to Capt. Kirk:
"Da**it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a hair replacement specialist!"

2. This favourite celebrity is a talented singer/balladier. However, if someone was to accidentally BOX,ER, his toupee off his head during a concert, it would likely hit the ground to the SOUNDS OF SILENCE. Who is this harmonious celebrity?

Answer: Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel was born in Queens, New York, U.S.A. on November 5, 1941. Possessing one of the sweetest voices in show business, he teamed up with composer Paul Simon in the 1960's to become one of the most successful duets in music history. Two of their most popular tunes were "Sounds of Silence" and "The Boxer".

Hmm...would a toupee be considered a "bridge over smooth waters" in this case?

3. If this favourite celebrity's toupee was RED, SEE, he'd probably PART it down the MIDDLE. Plus, anyone wanting to MONKEY around and take it from him would likely have to beat him in a CHARIOT race and pry it from his COLD, DEAD HANDS. Who is this manly celebrity?

Answer: Charlton Heston

Charlton Heston was born in Evanston, Illinois, U.S.A. on October 4, 1924 (or 1923). His most famous roles are, arguably, as Moses in the 1956 movie "The Ten Commandments", where he parted the Red Sea, and as Ben Hur in the 1959 Oscar winning movie "Ben Hur", which won him an Academy Award as "Best Actor". He also starred in that great simian movie "Planet of the Apes".

The chariot race pitting Ben Hur (Heston) and Messala (Boyd) is legendary. A modern version would possibly see "Follicles flailing away in the wind".

Heston passed away on April5, 2008.

4. This favourite celebrity would likely say "My hairpiece is UNTOUCHABLE!" and not let any pranksters off SCOT-free. If you remember, he was given a license to kill...or was that just in the movies? Being a very private person, he's unlikely to BOND with anyone willingly. (You must be groaning in despair by now. LOL). Who is this celebrity, famous celebrity?

Answer: Sean Connery

Sean Connery was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on August 25, 1930. He is most famous for being the first, and in many opinions the best, to play the adventurous hero "Bond, James Bond" in the popular movie series. Agent Bond was assigned the moniker "Agent 007" with a "license to kill". Another notable achievement of Connery's was winning a "Best Supporting Actor" Academy Award in the 1987 movie version of "The Untouchables". Although Sir Connery has since stopped sporting any toupee, hairy toupee, one must "never say never again".

Dalton is from Wales, Lazenby from Australia, and Moore from England.

5. If this favourite celebrity's toupee was to "shrivel up and die", he'd likely be tempted to perform an autopsy on the "bit of rug". Or should that be mop-topsy? Toupee-topsy? If you recall, he played a very inquisitive CORONER on a popular 1970's TV series. Who is this celebrity?

Answer: Jack Klugman

Jack Klugman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. on April 27, 1922. He is best remembered for playing opposite the late Tony Randall on the popular TV series "The Odd Couple" and as coroner Dr. Quincy on the TV hit "Quincy".

Most, if not all episodes, saw Quincy perform an autopsy, become suspicious, then run off on a crusade to catch a killer or determine with certainty, the true cause of death. Poor Sam Fujiyama (Robert Ito), his co-worker, must've been overwhelmed with "work" piling up while "Quince" is on his (hourly) mission!

6. If we were to WELCOME BACK this favourite celebrity to reprise a breakout role he had many years before, we'd advise him to secure his "rug" well. Why? Because those manic MANERO moves of his might send the "piece" whipping across the dance floor beneath the flashing DISCO lights. (You're asking yourself: Omigawd! Did Benny just mention disco?). Who is this "crazy legs" celebrity?

Answer: John Travolta

John Travolta was born in Englewood, New Jersey, U.S.A., on February 18, 1954. His most famous role was arguably as Tony Manero in the 1977 ultimate disco-themed movie "Saturday Night Fever". He originally co-starred with Gabe Kaplan in the tv series "Welcome Back, Kotter". Director Quentin Tarantino's 1994 acclaimed film "Pulp Fiction" helped to "grease" Travolta's comeback.

It's great to see that his acting career is "staying alive".

7. If this favourite singing celebrity was to misplace his hairpiece, he'd begin his search in SAN FRANCISCO, California, where he once LEFT HIS HEART too. Who is this celebrity with the "misplaced body organ"?

Answer: Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett was born in Queens, New York, U.S.A. on August 3, 1926. He continues to tour and perform at age 80. His signature song is without doubt "I Left My Heart in San Francisco".

Scott McKenzie was noted for the 1967 hit "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)". Composed by John Phillips, a member of the famous folk music group "The Mamas & The Papas", it achieved iconic status and became one of the song anthems of the "Hippie, Woodstock" era. "San Francisco" peaked at no.1 in the U.K. and Europe, and no.4 in the United States.

8. This late, great celebrity was one of Hollywood's most famous dancers. It's unlikely his toupee could've fallen off during a dance routine, mainly due to the continued presence of a TOP HAT and a bit of "ginger". Who was this celebrity with "happy feet"?

Answer: Fred Astaire

Fred Astaire was born in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A. on May 10, 1899. He was considered one of, if not THE best dancer ever to grace the silver screen. He and dance partner Ginger Rogers starred in many dance-themed movies , including "Top Hat" (1935). Fred Astaire died on June 22, 1987 of pneumonia.

9. Warning! If some BRAVE HEART was to steal the "carpet" from him, this celebrity would likely be MAD to the MAX, pull out a LETHAL WEAPON, and chase the perpetrator BEYOND THUNDERDOME! (*Whew*. Are those enough clues or what?) Who is this "adrenalin-by-the-bucketful" celebrity?

Answer: Mel Gibson

Mel Gibson was born in Peekskill, New York, U.S.A. on January 3, 1956. He is most famous for his roles in the "Mad Max" and "Lethal Weapon" movie series. The sequels to "Mad Max" (1979) were "The Road Warrior" (1981) and "Mad Max beyond Thunderdome" (1985). He won "Best Director" and "Best Picture" Academy Awards for the 1995 epic "Braveheart".

10. Last but not least, it is a fair certainty that if someone was to yank the toupee from his head, this LONE WOLF would WALK the entire RANGE of TEXAS to hand the culprit a "blow from a fist", followed by a "roundhouse kick to the face"! Who is this chop-socky celebrity (and Worldwide Wizards Funtrivia group's current "ambassador") who's affectionately rumoured to have "another fist beneath his beard"?

Answer: Chuck Norris

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris was born in Ryan, Oklahoma, U.S.A. on March 10, 1940. A noted martial arts expert, he is well known for his roles in "Lone Wolf McQuade" and "Walker, Texas Ranger", where the term "Roundhouse Kick to the Face" has achieved cult status and is synonymous with Norris. Chuck Norris's toughness and seeming invincibility have been satirized, with his blessing, on sites devoted to "Chuck Norris Facts" and by late-night talk show host Conan O'Brien. Norris's self-deprecating nature has endeared him to legions of new and old fans alike.

If Shakespeare's Hamlet was bald, his soliloquy might include the words "Toupee or not toupee, that is the question". Ditto King Richard the Third. He'd likely say "A hairpiece, a hairpiece, my kingdom for a hairpiece!"
