Zooey Deschanel without bangs (and with different makeup) from about 2 years ago: [http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr03/2013/5/10/12/grid-cell-26954-1368201841-22.jpg](http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr03/2013/5/10/12/grid-cell-26954-1368201841-22.jpg) ---

When Kenny Chesney was interviewed on “60 Minutes” a while back, he wore glasses, a baseball cap, and a shirt with sleeves. He probably could have walked into a fan club convention and not been recognized. ---

My favorite was always Yul Brynner with hair in The Buccaneer. In fact I’m surprised to see his IMDB page photo has hair. ---

The one that comes to mind for me is seeing John Kay of Steppenwolf without his shades on that PBS special. As noted [here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Kay_%28musician%29#Personal_life), he has total color blindness and is legally blind. On the special he looked kind of wall-eyed. ---

Sia, the singer who was on SNL a few weeks ago with the huge wig and the tiny window shade over her eyes, has gotten a lot shyer about public appearances as she’s gotten more famous. Without her freaky costuming, she looks like [this](http://www.etonline.com/media/photo/2014/07/24092119/640_sia_489688127.jpg). I could swear I’ve seen her in Wal-Mart.
