Hi, folks,

Some dorky questions:

* Has anyone ever managed to read the paperwork sitting on Prefect
Barlow's desk in "The Gladiators?" If so, what does it say?

* In "The Trap," can anyone decipher what the organ-replacement
poster says on the bottom line? The second word is "Clinic." Can
anyone figure out what the first word is? Is it "Elrad?"

* Also in "The Trap," can anyone make out the name of the company at
the bottom of the disposable clothing poster? There are three words,
the second and third of which are "Stores" and "Inc." Can anyone
read the first word? Is it "Stanley?"

Thanks!
Rich

Kevin,

I got a certificate that they hand-wrote (rather sloppily with a calligraphy pen).

I'm thinking of volunteering my calligraphy services for next year's honorable mentions...just have to see how I feel as I get closer to Wondercon 2010.

Egads, I hate looking at my Wondercon photos: http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn102/apecityoutfitters/1932720.jpg

 Mort's daughter-in- law says he died today (May 28). He was just as significant in getting Fox to make POTA as Arthur was, constantly pestering the studio. And of course, he produced the first two movies. He was the man on the scene, especially on location since Arthur couldn't travel because of his health.

  I got to meet him twice and thank him for his work. His son died recently too, so it's a real sad time for the family. RIP.

 I saw it. A decent panel about the first POTA with Verne Langdon as moderator (he worked on the first in the makeup lab); Dan Striepeke, he ran the Fox makeup dept. during the movies, etc. Two Oscar noms for "Forrest Gump" and "Saving Ryan's Privates", was Tom Hank's go -to makeup guy; Lou Wagner, who played Lucius and returned as the busboy in "Conquest"; and Tom Burman, who was an apprentice at the time and has since earned his stripes.

 No taping or pictures was allowed at the panel, nah! nah! nah!

  Anyway, they went over pretty common stuff but did it with flair. I liked how they imitated John Chambers' grumpiness. They talked about the challenge of the makeup task, Streipeke said it was the most makeups ever at the time for one production. He was the head of the Fox makeup dept. but he still had to roll up his sleeves; he worked on the hair and wigs.

  They gave special props to the late Josephine Turner, who worked on the wigs. And of course they praised Franklin Schaffner for taking "the high road" and making a movie they knew was good but didn't know would stay this accomplished. Wagner noted the social commentary, touchy in the '60's. They remembered the first day of developing the makeup, they found the original mask David Hedison wore in "The Fly" and Chambers said to "throw it out." They needed all the makeup people they could find. Burman said they used everyone on "the list" and Wagner replied, "They had to create a new list". Wagner remembered having to eat with chopsticks and that the first day on location, the real star, the makeup plane, hadn't arrived.

  Wagner and Langdon were in a band together in college yet he didn't recognize Wagner in the makeup (made a joke that Shelley Winters could hide under the makeup but he knew Wagner wasn't Shelley Winters because he was slightly smaller).

  Someone asked about makeup they'd seen for a female gorilla and Langdon said the female gorillas were just tests, they weren't planned for the movie. Someone brought up Bill Blake and Streipeke called him an "extraordinary makeup artist". Elaine Dietz from the TV show (the older sis in "The Good Seeds") was at the show selling her "Exorcist" wares and dropped in to say hi to the panel.

  That's about all I recall, except they had a slideshow going during the panel and there were some cool pictures I hadn't seen. Don't know how to describe them, except like "Heston eating lunch", "Zanuck on the publicity shot set", "an ape on Hollywood Blvd." , etc. Stuff I hadn't seen but maybe the "photo fiends" have.

  There were some other non-Ape, makeup related presentations, and a terrific display of creature makeup (including an awesome "Jaws"). They had Forry Ackerman's life mask when he was 26 and when he was 90. The show was kind of geared to the budding makeup artists and horror fans, with a section on makeup materials to buy. There were horror celebs (the guy who played Jason, etc.)

  The hard sell of cons is depressing, and it's hard to even say hi to a celeb without feeling guilty for not buying something. So after the panel I left, because there was no one to hold me there. Though I did get Streipeke and Dietz to sign my Eric Greene book, which is ready to be bronzed.

  That's about it from Karloffornia.
