Ordinarily I like to add something to my unruly locks to maintain some order, but when you acquire a pristine 1940s hat with a spotless silk liner, you don't want to goop the thing up.
This got me thinking about Buddy Ebsen, who bucked the hairstyle trends so much that to look at a photo of him from the 1930s, you might think he was a modern actor whose face had been inserted in Photoshop.
He obviously didn't put anything in his hair.
Another person who springs to mind Hoagy Carmichael's character in "To Have and Have Not." Ian Fleming thought James Bond could be played by Hoagy Carmichael, and he always described Bond as not putting anything in his hair.
Can anybody think of any other golden era greats who foreswore pomades and the like?
