Sean Penn, Hair Actor
posted @2:23 p.m. by Richard Kelly
I note in today's Observer a fine interview with actor/director Sean Penn by Sean O'Hagan, in which your host is generously quoted, as a consequence of one of his other life-functions as Mr Penn's authorised biographer. Since the book in question Sean Penn: His Life and Times is 500+ pages, I've tended to fight shy of Penn-related lists. But hell, it's Sunday, a slooow day, and I just find myself put in mind of Susan Sarandon's characterisation (echoed by Sean himself on certain droll occasions) of Penn as 'a hair actor'. Cue a list of the best Penn barnets on film, one that extends the general follicle fixation of Ten Bad Dates...
