i read the comment i me...thanks, Jim, for the info<br /><br />i read the comment i mentioned on Wikipedia, and i know that isnt the most factual place to get it<br /><br />here is what it says:<br />"Former Disney animator Milicent Patrick designed the Gill-Man. Jack Kevan, who worked on The Wizard of Oz and made prosthetics for amputees during World War II, created the bodysuit, while Chris Mueller, Jr. sculpted the head. Ben Chapman portrayed the Gill-man for the majority of the film, which was shot at Universal City, California"Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895614694411482044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-45896733719702525952009-10-17T17:58:28.002-07:002009-10-17T17:58:28.002-07:00Vintage BW shots rock.
Veering way off topic:
Na...Vintage BW shots rock.<br /><br />Veering way off topic:<br /><br />Nancy- From Ben Chapman's Website:<br />(Ben was the second actor to don the Gilman's rubber suit)<br />"The costume was created by the geniuses Bud Westmore, Jack Kevan, and Chris Mueller, who sculpted the head…the man who was really responsible for putting the costume together was Jack Kevan. Bud Westmore got credit because he was the head of make-up at Universal and his name was on everything that came out of the studio. Kevan supervised the making of the costume and Chris Mueller did the head."<br /><br />Note: Chris Mueller had a special fx credit on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea<br /><br />Can you tell I love old Universal monsters almost as much as I obsessabout all things Disneyland..(did I say that out loud?)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610261130964823635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-49906342023109862282009-10-17T12:01:23.507-07:002009-10-17T12:01:23.507-07:00Great pics as always, be it B & W or color.......Great pics as always, be it B & W or color....print or slide!

Skyway...I'd feel sloppy traveling in a bucket.<br /><br />Skyway "doing" the Rocket Rods - lol!<br /><br />The Clock 0' the World and the twa rocket too oh my. I actually like the dread-full 'Cruise pic. It's the papyrus, juxtaposed with the barrels of Jack Daniels. Yes the secret got out. Many a skippering explained huh? Not really about the juxtaposition either, it's just a hip word.<br /><br />Silverfish - urg.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.com
