Patrick Stewart was the first bald actor to appear on screen. Before him, actors were required to either have hair or wear a wig. This changed in 1987 when he held a room full of Hollywood executives hostage and shaved their heads, chanting "One of us! One of us!". RIP Sir Stewart, you'll be missed.
