To celebrate how both of these great birds have taken flight again, EAGLE(TM) Snacks has partnered with the American Eagle Foundation to announce THE BALD AND THE BEAUTIFUL(TM) Sweepstakes which asks Americans to enter, vote and see their favorite bald-headed celebrities go head-to-head to earn top honors as the nation's baldest, most beautiful entertainer.
