1947 Press Photo Actor Thomas Gomez "The Beard" nickname Unviersal International

PHOTO DESCRIPTION: The back of the photo reads as: Champion Beard Grower of Hollywood

He's a Beaver -- But not Too Eager

Whiskers have neatly hidden the expressive face of rotound character actor Thomas Gomez in more than half of his 16 films for Universal-International. For that reason Gomez has joned the nicknames "Hall of Hame" alongside Marie "The Body" McDonald, Betty "Legs" Grable and Frankie "The Voice" Sinatra. Heis , of course , "The Beard" The actor is not to be confused the "Eager Beaver" type personality  -- because Tom is admittedly lazy. He confines his annual exercise to a bicycle ride between Cape Cod and New York York City. For his many import and supporting roles, Gomez is called upon to raise different type beards. this he accoomplishes with the greatest of ease because, s tTom puts it, "I have a 5 o'clock shadow by noon." Here are some genuine hirsute samples gorwn by Hollywood's whisker champion
