A wig wearer for the best part of 57 years is old Bill Shatner of 'Star Trek' fame. Time to have a look at "The Shat's" wig collection over the decades. Surely only Jimmy Old AKA Radio DJ Jimmy Young must be a longer term syrup wearer than The Shat? Jimmy Old must be celebrating 6 decades of dedication to his hair.

Here is The Shat sporting his familiar Kirk toupee:

Looks quite convincing this Star Trek rug although HD TV does it no favours. When Bill fell on relatively hard times in the lean years (the 1970's) his rugs suffered badly. The money clearly wasn't available to purchase convincing rugs after he was reduced from a leading role to guest appearances in TV series and game shows. Just have a look at the selection of less than convincing headgear below:

Oh dear, oh dear! This is a good overview of Bill's tragic toupees from the 70s. Hard to pick which looks the most unconvincing.

By the 80's the Star Trek Movies were box office gold and he had a successful TV series (TJ Toupee) in production. He now had the money to buy better rugs.

Very bouffant! I think The Shat went OTT in the 80s especially as TJ Hooker! I don't Bill ever had natural hair that thick even in his 20s!

The Shat fairly recently with the most realistic rug look since the 60s. Rumoured to be a "hair appliance". Basically an appliance is where a complete hairpiece is stuck on his head, even the little natural hair he has left is apparently shaved off to leave just the sideburns.

There completes a quick overview of the bewigged times of William Shatner.

Time for another laugh at superhero Chuck Norris's hair? I think so.
