LEON TROTSKY
Even when this Bolshevik revolutionary was in exile, he continued to oppose Stalinist bureaucracy…and regularly scheduled haircuts.
RICHARD SIMMONS
The flamboyant exercise guru likes his hair the way he likes his ladies: big, sweaty, and ready to be conditioned.
ART GARFUNKEL
Sure, Paul Simon was far more talented than his ex-partner, but the Funkel’s ’fro accentuated that at least he was taller.
BOB ROSS
Just look at the happy little burnt-sienna mess of hair that sits atop the late The Joy of Painting star’s hippy-dippy head.
SIDESHOW BOB
Springfield’s resident homicidal maniac hates barbers as much as Kelsey Grammer (who voices the freak) hates driving sober.
PHIL SPECTOR
The pistol-packing producer showed up to his murder trial sporting this blond Afro wig and won. Suck it, jurisprudence.
BEA ARTHUR
How Rue McClanahan was the one getting laid in that house remains a head-scratcher.
GARY SPIVEY
Without a hint of humility, this professional psychic channels the cosmos through his mystical wig. He should really try channeling a gym membership.
MATT STONE
If you look closely, you can see the patch of gray that spawned "Uncle Fucker."

You missed Lindsey Buckingham circa Rumours...
what about that red haired kid from Room 222? Seriously, dude's hair was SCARY!
Chrocs - yes, good one. Added.
Anon - I vaguely remember the dude.
o and don't forget the fro on the new face of evil - carrot top.
richard simmons like ladies???
and who the hell is the human q-tip??
I'd like to see chico and harpo on this list when it is rerun.
Gary Spivey sends chills. It'll be good to see him when they cart him away to prison sans fro. Yeah, I had a psychic vision.
Bob Dylan needs to be on this list, too.
It seems like musicians are way over-represented here. Any theories?
"Well, if it isn't my arch-nemesis Bart Simpson. And his sister Lisa to whom I'm fairly indifferent."
My, I love Sideshow Bob.
I vote for the guy from "The Greatest American Hero" It wasn't the suit that gave him super powers it was the 'fro.
And he comes with a snappy theme song.

Richard Simmons will always be my favorite ae-fro-bics individual...god forbid he start going bald.
nice.
and captain spaulding to boot.
Don Henley had a very impressive fro when he was young.
More great additions... thanks.
I always like Bob Pinciotti's fro from That 70's Show. :)
Don't forget the Brady dad and Greg!
Jack Sikma. WHERE IS JACK SIKMA?!?!?!
1970/80's basketball would not have been the same with his transparent fro.
Samsmama - WORK it, sistah! Love that quote.
Bob Dylan rocks the 'fro. Richard Simmons scares me long time.
Ah Bert Convey, RIP, Bert.
I was just a kid, but I had completely forgotten the dude in Room 222 until you posted that. Fantastic.
There was always Eraserhead!
Such horrible hair, yet I cannot look away.
Great list, Cary (though, from this guy's opinion, it stops and starts with Bob Ross. There's just something hypnotically soothing about that smooth voice/fro combo...)
Anyone know whatever happened to William Katt?
what about the dude from ELO... whathisname? Jeff Lynne?
Cool, but Harpo's was a wig.
A couple more to ponder:
Quay Lewd (Fee Waybill, who was a former roadie, from the Tubes)
Anyone who has ever worn a rainbow fro
This Dude
Neal Shchon from Journey
And finally this guy.
Don't forget General Hospital's Luke Spencer, a.k.a. Anthony Geary (*shudder*)
Phil Spector looks like the Hair Bear Bunch bears.
One of my friends has a term he uses to describe the white man 'fro: Garfunkalization. So glad he was included in this list.
No Carrot Top?
I think he's unholy anyway...
The only one on that list who really got under my skin was Bob Ross, and I have no idea why. My mum and I used to watch him fill canvas after canvas with his "happy little pine trees" on the telly and want to hang ourselves. When I worked in an art store after graduation, his shit was all over the shelves. Practically equivalent with Paint by Numbers.
No explanation...just really gets on ma tits.
Wow, this list takes me back! But..but...Where's Dee Snider? He had the ultimate fake afro!
I'll add yet another suggestion to the pile: does anyone besides me remember Young Einstein?
We should have some non-celeb male afros on here - I remember in the late 80's certain men in my life going to get PERMS! I love to show those photos to their wives and students now. lol
disco stu!
Aries, I was totally thinking of Yahoo Serious yesterday, too. ;)
I'm not sure if he is even around anymore, but country singer Mac Davis comes to my mind.
All good additions, thanks.
Daisy.. I think Mac is still around. A few years back he was doing the Will Rogers Follies on Broadway.
Great list! I don't think that Bea Arthur's coif qualifies as an afro though. It isn't even curley.
Last time I saw Wm. Katt, it was an infomercial for a psychic! But that was a long time ago too.
Spector won??? Is that why he's in the joint?
