he’s got famous people eyes

Who is the most famous person to have worn or currently wears glasses?

Immediately my mind flips to a picture of Pamela Lee, circa 1995, running along a sandy beach carrying a floatation device and pushing her thick black glasses up the bridge of her zinc-dotted nose…wait a second, that never happened in Baywatch!  I figured her being noted as the most famous Canadian for awhile  means there’s gotta be something geeky about her.

But as any fan of Sloan knows, geeky is sexy, with or without the red bathing suit.

And this may be a strange intro for this week’s sketches of my own eyeglasses. But in a celebrity-soaked culture, whether on youtube or google street view,  on the tv or the big screen who is the most famous person to wear glasses remains unknown. Maybe it’s the last remaining tangible to be quantified in today’s fanfare. Maybe I didn’t search hard enough.

I don’t know.  But I’d love to hear who you think.
