Captain Lou Albano, the crazed and charismatic wrestling icon who played Cyndi Lauper‘s dad in her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” video, has died. He was 76.
Albano – known for his wild goatee, usually tamed by a rubber band, and his half-open Hawaiian shirts – was a wrestling world fixture for more than a half-century.
He was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment Hall of Fame in 1996, paying tribute to Albano’s management of 15 WWE tag team champions and WWE title holder Ivan Koloff.
