Female Actresses Who Wear Wigs

Whores and Harlots

Wigs in movies or in daily life?

R2 In daily life.

Emmanuel Macron has a little toupee over the crown of his head.

Joan Collins, obviously

R5 Yep, and she once took it off.

Raquel Welch

Julianna Margulies always wore wigs in The Good Wife. I remember some story about one that was worth $10,000

Aren't "weaves" the new "wigs"? In that case, ALL of them.

R8 She wears wigs in TV show she does post-Good Wife.

Zooey Deschanel.

Aisha Tyler

Keira Knightley.

Rupaul, Laverne Cox.

I have knowledge from people who worked behind the scenes on The Muppet Movie (the recent one, not the Rainbow Connection one) that Miss Piggy wears a wig.

R13 Almost bald as cueball.

Alex Trebek, John Travolta.

Nicole Kidman, Jane Fonda, and Faye Dunaway

R18 Faye, really?

Come on if you take this idea seriously, it's every actress some time. Stupid premise.

R20 Possibly.

Is this your fetish?

R22 Nothing like a woman in a wig.

Does Debra Messing wear a wig?

Cynthia Nixon. She had cancer and still wears the wig. She pulled it back on forth on Wendy Williams's couch once.

1. It was for a role as a cancer survivor. 2. She doesn't wear it anymore. 3. There was no pulling of the wig on Wendy.

I stand corrected.

Wendy.

Since most of them have eating disorders and since EDs make your hair fall out, I'm guessing most of them.

Angelina Jolie. She sticks with brown hair and most of the time it looks like her real hair.

R30 Yep, it seems Angie might be bald.

Most actors in Hollywood also take Adderall which can cause hair loss in many patients.

R32 Where is the link to that? This is the first I've heard.

Dolly Parton.

Tina Turner

Lana Del Rey

The Markle Debacle herself: Rachel Meghan

Catharine O'Hara

Actually, not eating makes hair grow more, all over people's bodies and faces and heads too. Because they get cold more easily, self-regulation. Starving people are hairy.

R38 Starving makes you grow ‘fine’ hair on your face, ears, back. You actually lose head hair plus teeth and muscle. We all saw concentration camp victims. They were far from being hairy.

r39, their heads were shaved because of lice, you doof.

Don’t most of the black ones use wigs? Except Lupita.

R40 Are you serious? They shaved their heads at their arrival. It wasn’t because of lice, it was purely to dehumanize them. They were left with their hair for the rest of their stay. Women and children didn’t stay long. It’s all documented. They literally lived in shit. Like lice was their biggest problem.

Before you shovel out your wisdom, use the shift key.

Their heads were routinely shaven. Do you honestly believe everyone's hair just stopped growing beyond 3 inches for their entire time in the camps?

President Macaroon wears a wig?

A tiny toupee on the crown.

Sometimes, my dad would wear a Dolly Parton wig just to fuck with people.

R45-He's still cuter than that Trudeau person.

Baaaaaaaarbra Streisand!

Apparently, Kristin Chenoweth’s hair has fallen out so she always wears wigs.

Joan Collins

Kim Novak

Barbara Eden uses hairpieces

R50 Oh Joan.

All of them?

Sally Field?

Dolly Parton, y'all. It's to take the emphasis off her big boobies. ;)

Bobbie Gentry

I would be curious for those that wear a wig, do some of them wear one because they are balding and just don't want to mess with their hair?

Who gets custody of Zooey Deschanel's wigs?

Courtney Love?

In the pics at R13's link, it looks like a lot of the "wigs" are actually extensions.

Not an actress but I kinda suspect Chantal Biya wears a wig. FLOTUS Melania, too.

It's funny how straight people rave about Christina Hendricks' hair, her wig is so noticeable wig-like yet in every article she's profiled they always go on ad nauseam about her hair. She actually has pretty bad thinning hair so in her case the wigs and hair pieces are necessary. But even without hair loss, a majority of female celebs, especially ones over 40, wear hair pieces, extensions, or wigs when they're working e.g. photo shoots or filming movies/ shows. Christie Brinkley has obvious hair pieces, she'd actually look younger if she didn't try so hard with keeping her hair long.

R61 So obvious. Will she ever go wigless? You're on IG, show a pic of your wig collection.

Connie Gavin

Susan Olsen

What about the male actresses?

Keep a secret? Helen Lawson.

R67 An all-time classic.

R66 Related

R68 Haha

Sarah Silverman

Do weaves or hair extensions count?

R71 Only if they're never or rarely seen without them.

Has Allison Janney been mentioned yet?

Who knew? John Travolta has been wearing wigs this whole time.

Angelina Jolie.

William Shatner

Charlton Heston

George Costanza

Christina Hendricks.

Actresses are usually female OP

R78 Nyuk Nyuk.

God God, they’re actresses aren’t they? They all wear wigs!

Tori Amos is bald. So is Joan Jett.

R81 Joan Jett? Seriously?

Margaret Dumont was near bald

So was Ida Lupino

Tina Louise uses pieces

Elke Sommer uses hair pieces and wigs but don't mention it or she will sue !!

R85 YIKES! That Tina Louise photo looks like a still for the next season of the Walking Dead.

I know we all get old and wrinkly, but that is seriously scary.

That's a very sad picture at R85, whoever she is.

Bump.
