The Worst. Eyebrows. Ever.

Eyebrows get little love—and much less recognition than other facial hair—but even George Clooney would look like Lord Voldemort without them. Here, a look back at some underappreciated moments in eyebrow history. by Hannah Gold,  DETAILS

Hairless from head to toe

Egyptian Next Slide

To be hairless from head to toe was a sign of beauty in ancient Egypt, so men plucked or shaved their brows and then drew them back on thicker with black powder. Works best if you're also decked out in a pharaoh costume.

Groucho Marx

Previous Slide Groucho Marx Next Slide

American film and television star Groucho Marx used greasepaint to draw on exaggerated brows (and sometimes the mustache) while delivering wisecracks. "Groucho glasses" today produce the same effect with less fuss and muss.

Leonid Brezhnev

It is said that Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev -- who ruled from 1964 until his death in 1982 -- could pistol-whip dissenters with his eyebrows alone.

Sylvester Stallone

Previous Slide Sylvester Stallone Next Slide

When Sylvester Stallone showed up at the Venice Beach Film Festival in 2009, more than a few eyebrows were raised at his, uh, handiwork.

Andy Rooney

Previous Slide Andy Rooney Next Slide

Sometimes it looked like 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney had small, furry creatures -- with tails -- living on his eyebrows. Or that his eyebrows had eyebrows.

Rowan Atkinson

Previous Slide Rowan Atkinson Next Slide

British comedian Rowan Atkinson's performance at the opening ceremonies of the 2012 London Olympics reminded us that his wiggle-worm arches have a mind of their own.

Joey

Previous Slide Matt LeBlanc as Joey Next Slide

A Friends classic: Joey goes to the salon for some eyebrow maintenance and comes out with a slick wax. Not that he's mad about it.

Ron Paul

Previous Slide Ron Paul Next Slide

Ron Paul's eyebrow toupee appeared to melt right off his face during a Republican debate in 2011, but his campaign spokesman cleared everything up by blaming the heavy pollen season in New Hampshire. Oh...

Adam Lambert

Previous Slide Adam Lambert Next Slide

We're guessing Adam Lambert's super-sculpted brows may have fueled the chatter about whether or not he and Megan Fox are really the same person.

Vinny Guadagnino

Previous Slide Vinny Guadagnino Next Slide

Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino isn't shy about sharing his grooming routine. He once tweeted of his brows: "I gotta get my eyebrows waxed #thingsguysshouldntsaybutdo. But I really do though." GTLW?
