I was just reading about Telly Savalas, and why he sported a shaved head long before it became mainstream. Here is part of the article.
"Contrary to popular belief, Telly didn’t lose his hair. He shaved his head for his role as Pontius Pilate in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), and decided to remain shaved for the remainder of his life, becoming the most famous bald man on the planet and giving bald men everywhere, a badly-needed icon and sex symbol, making bald cool. Savalas famously said once that “everyone’s born bald.”

what about yul brenner?

Same situation with Yul. He reluctantly shaved his head in 1956 to play in The King and I. Apparently, he kept it shaved the rest of his life.
It sounds like women went crazy about these guys. I'm surprised head shaving didn't become a trend back then. People were much more conservative then.

Yep, first Yul Brynner didn't want to shave it, then he didn't want it back!
