A dark brown toupee custom made for John Wayne for The Wings of Eagles (MGM, 1957). The toupee is made of human hair and hand tied one strand of hair at a time to a lace mesh with silk bands in the interior to give the appearance of a scalp. Studio wigs at the time were custom made and fitted to measure by the star's head and hairline. An MGM label is inscribed "John Wayne Wings of Eagle." The wig was acquired from MGM upon the closure of its hair and wig department. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Categories: JOHN WAYNE
