Abstract

The article discusses Bing Crosby's experience of being a Hollywood actor from the 1930s to the 1950s. Crosby always had a problem with his big ears that make-up artists had to use spirit gum or adhesive to glue them against his head. The film 'She Loves Me Not' was the first production Crosby filmed with his ears not glued back. He also had to wear a hat or a toupee in several pictures because of his thinning hair. The film 'Mississippi' was filmed after he had gained a significant amount of weight. But in spite of his looks, Crosby became successful with his acting career because of his talents and attitudes.
