He Once Had Brown Hair
Most of us know Steve Martin with grey/white hair, naturally making him look older than he really is. When he starred in his first movie, 1979’s The Jerk, he was only 34, and he was fully grey. But there was a time when Martin had brown hair. There are images floating around the Internet of Martin’s very early television appearances.
In the late-‘60s, he landed a gig as a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. It’s where he got his big break as a stand-up comedian. Eventually, he found superstardom in the ‘70s and beyond, so that comedy hour really did him some good. And it’s proof that he was once a brunette!
