Oliver Reed not wearing his wig at his home in Wimbledon, South West, London. 29th November 1970.
Oliver Reed, at this time, was filming The Devils, a Ken Russell film, where he plays a 17th Century priest unjustly accused of saucery by a group of nuns.
In the film, Reed appears bald, and whilst production is on going, the film company have made him a 200 pound wig
to wear. However, he prefers to face the world bald and so refuses to wear it. He has had his eyebrows, beard and moustache shaved too, for the film being made at Pinewood Studios. The film company have taken out a 250 pound insurance policy because there are fears his eyebrows won t grow back as they were before.

Oliver Reed: Embracing Authenticity in the Face of Fame". In this photo print, we catch a rare glimpse of the legendary actor Oliver Reed at his home in Wimbledon, South West London. Dated November 29th, 1970, it captures a pivotal moment in Reed's career as he prepares for his role in the Ken Russell film "The Devils". Reed's commitment to his craft is evident as he defiantly refuses to wear a meticulously crafted 200-pound wig provided by the film company. Instead, he chooses to face the world bald, showcasing his unwavering dedication to authenticity and artistic integrity. Not only has Reed shed his hairpiece but also bravely shaved off his eyebrows, beard, and mustache for the demanding role. The film production even took out a substantial insurance policy due to concerns that these distinctive features may not grow back as they were before. Known for being both an enigmatic figure and a hell-raiser within the entertainment industry, Oliver Reed fearlessly challenges societal expectations with this bold choice. His decision reflects an artist unafraid to expose himself emotionally and physically on screen. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Oliver Reed's unwavering commitment to his craft and showcases him at one of many defining moments throughout his illustrious career.
