Famous Fedora Lovers

[monbla256]

Maybe not famous for wearing hats, but Sydney Greenstreet will always be associated with a Fez.

Cheers!

Don't forget his signature Optimo Panama

Boy George is not your cuppa tea? How about...

This gal was somewhat iconic in this particular lid...

Whoops! I guess you can disregard Audrey as the thread is "He's famous for his hat."

Okay, I see the Blues Brothers have been posted previously. Third time's a charm. How about this guy? I give you Odd Job.

 

[Widebrim]

^^Odd job was cool...

 

[The Good]

Oddjob was one of the coolest Bond villain henchmen, so yeah, he deserves a mention here. I'm actually in the middle of reading the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming, but I don't have Goldfinger yet.

Steve Martin is an occasional fedora wearer.

I wouldn't say he's famous for it, but his character Neal Page in the comedy Planes, Trains & Automobiles wears a sweet grey one.

He co-stars with John Candy.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

And James Joyce, who wore his fedora on a pronounced slant.

Hey its Ground Hog day so here's Ned Ryerson "Needlenose Ned"? "Ned the Head"

Classic! "Amiright? Amiright? right right?"

Off-topic, but the actor who played Ned Ryerson, Stephen Tobolowsky, is a great storyteller with a really wonderful podcast. If you're into that stuff, check out The Tobolowsky Files.

I tweeted about this guy today. Thought I'd add him here, as well. The Clash's Paul Simonon, Rock, Fashion, and Hat trendsetter!
