George Steinbrenner Defends His Hair
Jul 20th 2007eBaseball & MLB & Media
All week the thing that’s been on everybody’s mind is what George Steinbrenner thinks of his portayal in “The Bronx is Burning.” Well, the verdict is finally in and Steinbrenner is angry, but according to his publicist Howard Rubenstein, it’s mostly because of how the series is portraying his finely groomed head of hair and stylish wardrobe.
Rubinstein said one inaccuracy Steinbrenner talked about related to his personal grooming. “What he is saying is he didn’t like the hair they put on the guy,” referring to actor Oliver Platt.
“George’s hair is more neatly trimmed; he goes to the barber regularly. He didn’t deal with the inaccuracies other than the wig they put on him really wasn’t appropriate.”
Steinbrenner also related through Rubinstein that Platt’s clothing was un-George-like. “He said they put him in a blue blazer and he thinks he dresses better than the actor,” Rubinstein said. “He doesn’t want to knock the guy’s acting; he wants to knock his clothing and hairdo.”
If ESPN would have just forced Larry David to play Steinbrenner, everybody would have been happy.

Listen, I don’t give a hoot about who plays me as long as the hair is right. Remember the great shots of my office from the old Seinfeld series? Now *those* guys knew how to get the hair right. ESPN just doesn’t have the chops for this.
