Get a load of Zap2it's Fifty Famous Mustaches. Our man Selleck doesn't show up until number 36 (and what's up with that, eh?). BUT....get a load of who's number 49 and 50!

"Walter"????????

I hope those were "in no particular order" as, in my opinion, if you take "most famous moustaches" literally -- who are you going to name first? i.e., who do you think of first? Sorry, but Hitler (well, of course, everyone here thinks of TS). Then Clark Gable, then Charlie Chaplin. And most of that 50 list were known just as much WITHOUT the moustache. And moustaches don't count in the "claim to moustache fame" if a beard is with them. Moustaches ONLY! Another example, if a caricature of someone (e.g., Gene Shalit or Clark Gable or Charlie Chaplin) is drawn, you have to have the moustache. For Robert Goulet, Sean Connery, or Brad Pitt, etc., you don't have to have the moustache. Therefore, just because the person is famous already and grows a moustache/beard/goatee, he doesn't get in the "most famous moustache" club. Some I can agree with because we identify the moustache with the person -- Burt Reynolds, Gene Shalit, Sonny Bono, Cheech -- but just as many, not -- Robert Downey, Jr., Sean Penn, Thomas Hayden Church. But the guy from "Life on Mars" -- come on! He's been around only a few months. That doesn't qualify you for "fame."

Sorry if I've ranted too much ...

Golf's right. I'd have to completely re-number that list...and it would be A LOT shorter. I agree that a famous person who decides to grow a mustache shouldn't be eligible. And, if it's true that "mustache" people ONLY have mustaches, then the person on the list should be Thomas...not Tom.

Good pictures of all, though.

Agatha,

Thanks! But I think Tom has lost the goatee now too. Hopefully he just wears it for Jesse Stone roles. Pictures of him in the south of France filming the new Ashton Kutcher movie show him sans goatee.

Wow, super surprised Hillerman made the list! And right next to an "E. Mosley", "Walter" (the novelist) that is.

No Jim Croce, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Sam Elliot, Edgar Allen Poe, Wilford Brimley? Hmmm....

Methinks some Magnummaniacs had something to do with this list.

I find it hard to believe this list is in any kind of order. James, when did Roger change his name?

He didn't. It's a different "E. Mosley". Walter Ellis Mosley, a novelist best known for his Ezekiel "Easy" Rawlins stories (Devil in a Blue Dress, etc.).

"Easy" is a P.I. in Watts, CA. Roger was born and raised in Watts! Odd!

The picture associated with the list is Roger!

Wilford Brimley is a good one, James, and Sam Elliott!

OK golf...I'm off to look at those Twitpics again!!

LOL! I didn't even look at the picture. I just saw the name in the drop-down list. Someone totally dissed the great WALTER E. Mosley!!

Thanks, golf! And there's that Tom Selleck smile! I worry about him sometimes because he doesn't smile...and then I remember that it's Jesse Stone that doesn't smile much.
