One famous man who has been 'losing it' for years was once voted 'The Sexiest Man Alive'. (Although, as he pointed out, there aren't many sexy dead men. Well, they're not sexy now.
) The man in question heads my list of famous men who are/were totally bald or losing their hair. I'd be grateful for any additions to the list. Personally I feel that a man with little or no hair can look very sexy. It's not the baldness per se, it's the general looks and personality thing. Anyway, here goes, in no particular order.
Sean Connery
Yul Brynner
Telly Savalas
Danny DeVito
Ed Harris
Patrick Stewart
Duncan Goodhew (British Olympic swimmer)
Simon Rouse (Jack Meadows in 'The Bill' - British police drama)

Patrick Stewart was once voted 'World's Sexiest Man' while playing Picard on Star Trek - a role, one of his first, which didn't involve a wig. Not for him, anyway.

Then there's Andre Agassi. OK, he's shaved his head, but only after he started to lose his hair.

In the world of soccer, Fabien Barthez - goalkeeper for the French national team, and now Manchester United's latest signing - springs to mind. He likes to get a team-mate to kiss the top of his shaven head just before the kick-off of each game he plays!

I never thought Debbie Magee was that attractive, and as for Paul Daniels being sexy because he's balding... Words fail me (for a change!)

Oh, and Jack Nicholson who has been 'receding' for years. And Daniel Benzali (I think), the lawyer in 'Murder One' from the States is / was totally bald. Was that just for the series or is he really like that?

I think "Mrs. Merton" probably summed up that situation with her question to Ms. Magee: "What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?"
