Newsmen Sporting Coifs of Steel
Source: New York Daily News A year after Cooper's salt-and-pepper buzz cut helped make him the It-boy of TV news, gray hair is sprouting on the airwaves faster than a Chia Pet.
The latest: NBC legal-affairs reporter Dan Abrams, whose dark brown 'do has given way to serious waves of gray. For the record, Abrams refuses to comment. But given that he's only a year older than the 38-year-old Cooper and projects the same men's-magazine glam, it's not surprising he might think there's gold in all that silver.
"There's definitely an Anderson effect," says colorist Louis Licari. "He's been able to bridge the gap — he's old enough to have credibility and young and hip enough to attract a younger audience as well."
