PHOTOS OF THE DAY: MORE BALD BING

My daughter is six, and I have her fascinated with Bing Crosby. Afterall, she is named after the Bing song "I Love You. Samantha" from 1956's High Society. For some reason though she loves to look at pictures of Bing without his toupee. I originally did a photo story on Bing's baldness in 2011, which is one of the most popular photo blog entries I've done. So I combed my photos and found some more pics of a bald Bing Crosby...

PHOTOS OF THE DAY: A BALD BING

I am not sure the exact time that Bing started wearing toupees, but I would guess sometime around the 1933 period. Even while he was a Rhythm Boy in his mid 20s, Bing was balding. Even though Bing hated those toupees, he wore one all his life. He did love the opportunity to wear hats to cover up his balding, and it looks pretty good on Bing. Here are some pictures that capture Bing without his rug...
