I was recently watching a re-run of the King and I in which Yul appeared as the King of Siam with his trademark shaven head. Born in Vladivostok in 1920 Yul was often photographed in the 60’s when in London with leading footballers from Spurs and West Ham (Greaves Hurst Moore Peters etc) though perhaps not unsurprisingly as someone born in Russia it was the Reds of Bill Shankly’s Liverpool that captured his interest. Photos from the period always show his shaved pate but Brynner a known womaniser never wore after shave. They still sing about that at Anfield to this very day.
