Back in December, Andrew May posted a set of photos to a public group on Facebook. I reached out to him, but never heard a reply. Since he posted them publicly, I did something I rarely do, and I borrowed the photos to post here, because they're really cool. The photos were taken in August 1975 at the UK Live Planet of the Apes show in Steyne Gardens in Worthing. I've added the page to the UK Apes Stage Shows page. UK Apes Live in Worthing Thanks, Andrew!

While going through twenty-plus years of digital files, I discovered an interview with Kim Hunter from Filmfax #79 in June 2000. Mike Muse sent this to me in 2011, and I somehow neglected to post it then! I have added the article to the Magazine Articles page. Filmfax #79, June/July 2000 Thanks, Mike, and sorry about the delay!

I have posted a document created by Richard Bardini that is titled Real to Reel: How the real-life location of New York City was protrayed on screen in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. I added it to the bottom of the Filming Locations page. I found Richard's PDF in my files, and I don't remember where it originally came from. It doesn't appear that Richard sent it to me, which suggests he posted it somewhere. My apologies for not remembering. It's an interesting document! Real to Reel: Real-Life NYC in Beneath Thanks, Richard!

In 2013, artist and writer Coco Fusco delivered a lecture at Studio Museum in Harlem dressed as Zira. Thanks to E. Francis Kohler, scans of the program for the lecture have been added to the site. The page also embeds YouTube videos of the trailer for and an excerpt from the lecture. Coco Fusco lectures as Zira Thanks, Francis!

I've added a review of Conquest from the October 1972 issue of the UK magazine Film Review. Unfortunately, I don't have the magazine, but I saved these photos from an eBay auction. Not great, but they'll do for now. You can find hundreds of Apes-related magazine articles on the Magazine Articles page. Film Review, October 1972 (UK)

	Happy New Year! Lori recently sent me a photo of Sammy Davis, Jr, and his wife standing in front of the Lawgiver that he'd received as a gift from Arthur P. Jacobs. That led me to digging up other photos and info I'd stored about the two Lawgiver statues created for the films. You can see what I came up with on this page: The Lawgiver Statues Thanks, Lori!
