Significance of hair parting
PT 100STAFFMOD 发布于 2017 年 02 月 15 日 5:09下午
The vast majority of men part their hair on the left, even if they are left handed; and this widely is thought to suggest masculinity and assertiveness. Following this dictum, in the Superman movies Chris Reeve parted his hair on the left when in the Superman character, but on the right when in the Clark Kent character. George Reeves just had his hair combed back on both sides with no clear part when playing both Superman and Kent. His natural widow's peak added to the symmetry.
This partless style appears to have been Reeves's natural hairstyle and one he maintained in various roles as well as when not acting:

That's interesting. I also noticed that in many/most episodes of Perry Mason the male actors have no hair part whatsoever. In some seasons Raymond Burr had a left part, in others none at all. And William Talman and William Hopper also had partless hairstyles, as did many male guest stars. I wonder if this was a popular hairstyle at that time. I don't seem to recall its being so among non-actors around that time. Maybe it makes the face more symmetrical and helps to eliminate an actor's "bad side" for the camera.
If there are any actors or entertainment hairstylists visiting here, I'd love to hear from them about this.
