I just recently found out the Christopher Reeves (superman) dealt with alopecia beginning at age 16. I showed this info from the internet to my 9 year old son. I told him that he had good company with what he's going through as I personally think that Christopher Reeves was extremely good looking, talented, etc. My son was very intriged and I think he found it comforting to a degree. Do any of you know of any other celebrities (adults or children) who have alopecia?

It seems to me that if a few more celebrities would come out and talk about it (because I'm sure there are many more) it would really change things. People would actually learn what it's all about (Ahh...awareness month :) ). Thanks all for your comments.

They do alot of extensions... and probably more likely that some have traction alopecia.

Margie I saw where your son was a sports fan well maybe he will know who Charlie Villanueva is. He plays for the Milwaukee Bucks and is the national spokesperson for the National Alopecia Aereata Foundation. He has made some really good talks about growing up with alopecia and maybe this could help your son.
