Notoriety can get you out of a jam. Tired of being identified as James Bond, Sean Connery took an unusual step for Hollywood leading man by publicly revealing his baldness on screen, beginning with The Man Who Will Be King (1976). On location in Casablanca, Scotsman rejected use of a chauffer and limo, choosing instead to drive himself in Volkswagen Bug. One day he drove around town dressed in a sweat shirt and shorts and was stopped for questioning by local police. The former Mr. Universe runner-up had unfortunately left his passport back at hotel and was arrested as a suspicious character. Just as he was about to be locked up, Connery shouted,"007! I'm 007 damn you!" They recognized him and let him go.

If you lose your hair, you can keep your privacy. Rob Reiner's big break was Harrison Ford turning down role of Meathead on All In Family (1971-1980) because Ford couldn't stand Archie Bunker's bigotry. When show first went into production, Reiner and his fellow castmates would leave CBS lot to eat lunch at neighboring Farmers Market. Initial low ratings meant they were mostly ignored by tourists. A few months later All In Family was a monster hit and they received Beatle's like attention. From then on cast generally preferred to stay in their dressing rooms at lunchtime. All except ever hungry Meathead who removed toupee he wore on show and continued to eat at Market in peace.
