Planet of the Apes Prop Photos by JT Woods

Scanned and contributed by Allen Gerten

Allen Gerten recently contacted me. Here's what he had to say:

My wife's late father was James Thomas Woods. He was a set painter in Hollywood for many years. He worked on the original 1968 POTA film as a set painter. He's not listed in the credits however: it's my understanding that only the leads in each department were listed in the end credits in those days.

We recently came into possession of some production photos that JT Woods had taken during the summer of 1967. Mostly photos of props and backgrounds, but the statue of the Lawgiver is prominent.

JT Woods is the gentleman standing next to the 'rock wall'. Unfortunately, there are no notes or captions on any of the other photos, so the other crew members are unidentified.

JT Woods worked on quite a few big-name productions in his career, namely Blade Runner (another one of my all-time favorites).
