Someone actually paid $35,000 for John Lennon’s hair

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Imagine there’s no limit to your bank account, would you spend $35,000 on a chunk of hair?

A four-inch lock of John Lennon’s hair sold for just that much over the weekend.

A director at Heritage Auctions in Dallas described it as “the largest lock of John Lennon’s hair ever offered at auction.”

A hair dresser on the set of “How I Won The War,” starring Lennon, clipped the Beatle’s hair for the movie part back in 1967.

The person who bought the lock is from the UK and collects entertainment mementos. He also won two vintage newspapers discussing Lennon’s makeover for the movie and an autographed call sheet.
