The late actors Christopher Reeve, Humphrey Bogart and Telly Salavas
Chris Reeve had Alopecia? I assume areata? where did you hear this?
He talked about it in People Magazine around 2001. He had patches from time to time and was able to hide it. Hollywood hair styling and toppers helped, too.
Savalas
You don't even know what this means to know this. I'm so blogging about this in a minute!
Third paragraph from this excerpt of his book "Nothing is Impossible" is where he mentions it again.

Link to Chris Reeve excerpt
Princess Caroline has regrowth at last news reporting a long time ago.
Actress Neve Campbell ( "Party of Five") had some patches way back but nothing more said about it in the media for a long time.
