This quote is from the Associated Press obituary of Sir Alec Guinness:
"TRAVELING UNRECOGNIZED
Guinness’s entertaining memoir, 'Blessings in Disguise,' published in
1985, told more about the talented and eccentric people he knew than about
himself.
He was seldom recognized in public.
In one of the stories he told about himself, Guinness checks his hat
and coat at a restaurant and asks for a claim ticket. 'It will not be
necessary,' the attendant smiles.
Pleased at being recognized, Guinness later retrieves his garments,
puts his hand in the coat pocket and finds a slip of paper on which is
written, 'Bald with glasses.'"
