Wigs, Hairlines & Hidden Baldness — How Hollywood Stars Hid Their Imperfections

Step behind the perfect hairlines of Hollywood’s Golden Age. For decades, the studios built an empire of beauty — powered by wigs, secrecy, and illusion. In this documentary, we uncover how the biggest stars of the 1930s–1950s — both men and women — hid baldness, thinning hair, and imperfections behind carefully controlled images. From Rita Hayworth’s painful electrolysis sessions to John Wayne’s discreet hairpiece, and from the quiet brilliance of MGM’s hair departments to the forgotten artisans who crafted thousands of wigs by hand — this is the untold story of Hollywood’s obsession with perfection.
