Legendary record producer Phil Spector — who donned a number of eccentric wigs during his 2009 murder trial — can be seen sporting a long goatee and no hair in his latest mugshot.
Spector beams a wry smile and shows his graying goatee as the convicted killer serves 19 years to life in a California prison for the slaying of actress Lana Clarkson.
The 80-year-old producer of hit records such as John Lennon‘s “Imagine” and the Ronettes “Be My Baby” has been in jail for 10 years.
He will be eligible for parole in 2028.
Spector, who is known for creating a “Wall of Sound” to accentuate melodies on his recordings, is infamous for his eccentric and sometimes violent behavior.
In an interview with People magazine, his onetime wife Ronnie Spector explained how the producer adopted twins as a Christmas gift in 1971 without telling her.
“He never said, ‘Ronnie, what do you think we should do? Should we adopt twins?’ Nothing! Everything was a surprise, and no woman wants live children as a surprise,” she told the magazine.
Clarkson, a 40-year-old actress, was found shot to death in the foyer of the 8,700-square-foot, nine-bedroom home.
Jurors were taken to the castle to inspect the scene of the crime during two trials. The first trial ended in a mistrial.
