We are getting closer so why not remember this early film in my career where I had the pleasure to work with Chris Lee, make his life mask, make a cool mask and play an alien.
This is 1977 and I was one of the first to make those grey alien looking beings. This one is without his eye covers we know today which are black. Few knew I was the one responsible for the black eyed aliens as they appear today. If I had only trademarked the image. But I digress.
Ve Neill was digging through pictures and slides and came across many slides taken during our early careers when we partners and lived together in Toluca Lake.
She found pictures of the mask that the poster was based on. I thought they were lost. There’s more I’ll share later in future stories on this website.
These were 35 millimeter slides. I took thousands during my career. I’m just starting to look through them for my up coming book about my career.
Thank you Ve for this fantastic find!
