Everyone famous or non famous in hats or caps or any kind of headwear !!!

Outside of All in the Family and The French Connection, what are some 1970s shows and movies in which the main character wore a hat? I ask because the '70s are generally considered to be after the "era" of the hat and yet as we see with Popeye Doyle andArchie Bunker that a main character or hero in a program wearing a fedora or porkpie didn't look utterly out of place. That hats, while their popularity had declined, had a place in "mainstream" clothing as late as the '70s.

Also, did you know anyone in real life--friends or family or neighbors--who wore a fedora or other kind of hat in the 1970s?

Blaxploitation movies? Karl Malden in "The Streets of San Francisco"?

My grandfather used to wear cloth bucket hats, assumably to keep the sun off of his head. They spent a lot of time in Florida then.

My grandfather never left the house without a fedora until he died in 1981. He had a stroke with me in the back seat but drove home. When the ambulance arrived, they had him sitting up on the gurney & he made them stop on the doorstep for me to go get his Stetson.

Not completely sure it counts as a hat, but Jimmy Walker in "Good Times" comes to mind.

You can not forget Telly in Kojak..."Who loves ya Baby?"

Or this Kolchak...

Gerald McRaney in Simon & Simon, but that might have been 80s. I get confuzed so easily these days.

Huggy Bear from the original Starsky and Hutch wore different hats and caps.

Robert Blake as Baretta often wore this cap, and is probably what got me interested in 8-panels.

 

[DesertDan]

Dennis Weaver as "McCloud"

Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby in the 1974 movie "Uptown Saturday Night":

Richard Widmark as "Madigan": http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2008/03/27/gal_widmark4.jpg The movie was from the Sixties, but the TV series was early Seventies.

In the 70s, McCloud and Kojak both had hat sales campaigns around the hats from their TV shows.
I still own a ... now badly worn ... McCloud Stetson and I remember seeing the Kojak dress hats advertised

There was The Sting

and sadly, Urban Cowboy with its rather negative impact on the western hat industry

Oh, yeah, and I was wearing hats all through the 70s ... In fact, I still wear a couple of vintage hats that I bought in the 70s, including a great Knox 25 I recently had restored at Wichita Hat Works. They gave it another generation of wear ... at least
