When Sir Patrick Stewart learned the studio wanted a captain with hair, his wife made it so
Sir Patrick Stewart, one of our most prominent and beloved hairless actors, sent his career into warp speed as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation. His smooth cranium was a distinct subversion of the classic Star Trek look, trading the full head of brown locks atop William Shatner for Stewart’s shimmering lack of follicles. But, get this: Paramount originally wanted a more Shattner-esque captain aboard the USS Enterprise.
Though Stewart doesn’t know if his “hairpiece flew first class,” it arrived days later, and he drove to LAX to pick it up. “It was packed in my briefcase when I drove to the Paramount Studios lot on Monday morning.” The audition, by Stewart’s account, went poorly. He only performed a single scene. “Shit, here comes the bad news,” Stewart thought when three executives came by later to thank the actor in his dressing room. They thanked him for his time and left.
