Reading about Derek Easton and his pantomime wigs (December 1) puts me in mind of a one-time famous British and Hollywood bit player, Miles Malleson.
For the uninitiated, he played the heroine's father in the Korda film The Thief Of Baghdad and the absent-minded professor in Lucky Jim.
He had an absolute fetish about wigs, being bald. He mulled over each choice very seriously.
One day, however, Peter Brook, the director, said: "It's OK this time Miles, you play a bald-headed chap."
"Oh, no," replied Miles, "I must find a bald-headed wig." He proceeded to do just that!
