The "celebrities without their trademarks" thread

He also had gray hair (in the 20s).

And, of course, this guy with a handlebar mustache

Mark Twain sans moustache.

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

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.

I actually thought Roy was blind for about two decades!

Alex Trebek without his mustache.

The one that comes to mind for me is seeing John Kay of Steppenwolf without his shades on that PBS special. As noted here, he has total color blindness and is legally blind. On the special he looked kind of wall-eyed.

While we’re on the subject of a clean-shaven Frank, here’s his first TV appearance from 1963 (where he gets called “Zoppa”)

Huh. He looks kind of like Richard Attenborough in “The Great Escape”!

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. I could swear I’ve seen her in Wal-Mart.
