In Memory of some Famous Beards and Baldies

History is littered with scores of famous people who have been bearded, bald or both. This is where we pay our respects to those who have left rather large footprints in time. Raise your glasses with us and toast these extra-ordinary people.

Ned Kelly the Bushranger- [1854/55 to 1880]

A true icon who embodied the fighting spirit of the early Australian convicts and settlers. Pursecuted by the authorities, Ned turned to crime and finally paid the ultimate price by being hung at Melbourne jail when only 25. He is famous for his suit of iron armour worn when he was captured by troopers. Martyr or Murderer, you make the decision. Ned Kelly, a true Australian Legend.

Ned Kelly the Legend

Leonardo Da Vinci a powerful mind- [1452 to 1519]

Famous for his incredible insight and abilities in many areas, Leonardo was a painter, sculptor, designer, inventor, engineer, scientist and architect. Not bad for someone who was dyslexic. Famous for his paintings of the Mona Lisa, Last Supper and Vesuvian Man, Leonardo left giant footprints in history. A truelly great beard and baldie.

Leonardo as he sketched himself, check out the beard and bald head, Yah!
