Old ballplayers Joe DiMaggio and Phil Rizzuto had their looks (not good to begin with) improve with age and gray hair. Emmylou Harris ---

Watched David Letterman’s interview of Howard Stern on _My Next Guest Needs No Introduction_ last night. They showed some clips of them on Dave’s old shows here and there. Letterman definitely looks tons better with gray hair. The contrast caused by thin, dark, hair against the scalp is just much more noticeable. The hobo beard, on the other hand … Stern is 64 and has all dark hair. So, gotta assume he’s dyeing. Wonder if going gray would help that ugly dude. ---

> [@Channing\_Idaho\_Banks](#): > > I’m going to say all of them. Old men who dye their hair are really obvious and un-natural looking. I’m 50 with almost all dark brown hair and my Mother was mostly brown when she passed in her 80s; my fear is I’m gonna I g to have dark hair when I get old and people are going to think I dyed it!

Wonder if going gray would help that ugly dude. Stern vehemently denies either dying his hair or wearing a wig. If he’s telling the truth I kinda feel bad for the dude because like I just alluded to if you are lucky enough to age with good hair haters start doubting if it’s the real McCoy. Vince McMahon was always rumored to wear a toupee until he lost a hair v hair match and it was obvious he was just blessed with really good hair lettuce. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk ---

20 years ago, I had the biggest crush on Kathleen Sullivan when she was a newscaster. She had the nicest salt & pepper hair. She eventually moved to one of the morning shows and then on to E! channel and started dying her hair. ---

> [@Enola\_Straight](#): > > What would Ronnie Wood look like with natural hair? > [https://content1.promiflash.de/article-images/square600/rolling-stones-gitarrist-ronnie-wood.jpg](https://content1.promiflash.de/article-images/square600/rolling-stones-gitarrist-ronnie-wood.jpg) I won’t say Keith Richards looks better with gray hair because he still looks like Keith Richards. But I think he looks more right with gray hair. With the life he’s led, he should have gray hair. ---
