To Baldly Go Trivia Quiz

Answer: Andre Agassi

The confession came in Agassi's autobiography, which came out in 2009. The wig was a masterpiece - long and shaggy with highlights, and held on (it now seems) by a headband. Agassi claimed in his book that he lost his first major final, the French Open, in 1990 through his fear that his hair would fall off during the match.

It doesn't seem to have hindered him that much, though, as he has eight Grand Slam singles titles to his credit, having won at all four of the major venues.

Answer: England

Kingsley was born in Yorkshire in 1943 to a family of rather exotic descent. His paternal grandfather was Indian, but moved to Zanzibar in Africa, while Kingsley's father was born in Kenya. Sir Ben won an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his portrayal of another bald man in the film 'Gandhi', which came out in 1982.

His other major films include 'Schindler's List' (1993), 'Bugsy' (1991) and 'Sexy Beast' (2000).

Answer: Raisa

Although the wives of western political leaders often find themselves in the public eye, this was less common for the wives of Communist leaders. Raisa Gorbacheva made regular public appearances alongside her husband, having left her post as a university lecturer when he became leader of the Soviet Union. Gorbachev's birthmark, revealed by his lack of hair, was very noticeable but he should be remembered for being the man who introduced the policies of glasnost and perestroika.

The new openness led to the dissolution of the USSR with the former members gaining their independence.

Answer: Seal

Seal was born to a Nigerian mother and his middle names reflect his heritage. His best known hit is probably 'Kiss From a Rose' from 1994, and he was also the featured vocalist on 'Killer', a 1990 hit from dance music producer Adamski. Lemmy comes from the heavy metal band Motorhead, where long hair is compulsory. Sting was born in Tyne and Wear and Adamski was born in Hampshire.

Answer: Soccer

Collina is a retired soccer referee from Italy. His bald head, caused by alopecia, made him stand out, but he was also one of the best referees in the sport. Collina was voted the World's Best Referee for each year between 1998 and 2003 and was also his country's Referee of the Year on several occasions.

He was the referee for the FIFA World Cup final between Germany and Brazil in 2002, which was played in Japan and which was won by Brazil.

Answer: Matt Lucas

Matt Lucas and David Walliams worked together on the television series 'Little Britain', creating various characters such as Marjorie Dawes, who runs a weight loss class despite being overweight herself, and Lou and Andy. Matt has given various explanations regarding his hair loss, although they all relate to alopecia. His other work includes working with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer on 'Shooting Stars' and he has also played the part of Thenardier in 'Les Miserables'.

The other men listed are associated with a different sketch show - 'The Fast Show'.

Answer: Cookery

Gregg Wallace, usually in partnership with chef John Torode, is known as a presenter of 'Masterchef' and its various spin-offs. He began as a greengrocer at Covent Garden market, before breaking into radio and then television. 'Masterchef' is a competition between amateur cooks who create dishes under pressure.

The results are then judged by Gregg and John, with Gregg claiming to be particularly fond of the puddings (desserts). Spin-offs include a celebrity version, one for professionals and another for young cooks. Gregg has also made appearances in other celebrity shows, including 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

Answer: William Hague

Hague first made his mark in politics when he spoke at the Conservative Party's conference in 1977. At the time he was aged only sixteen and had a full head of blond hair. After the Conservatives, under John Major, lost power in the 1997 election, Hague was elected the party's new leader.

He was derided in the popular press for his lack of hair and for wearing a baseball cap. Being bald didn't seem to be a handicap to Winston Churchill, but maybe we live in a more superficial age.
