(20th Century Fox, 1970) A life cast of actress Erica Gavin and a rubber head used for "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls." This infamous sexploitation film featured Gavin as Roxanne, a fashion designer who is murdered on screen with a gunshot into her mouth. To create the single very lurid shot of the gun going off and blood spraying from her mouth, a plaster life cast was made directly from Gavin herself, with her mouth open to accommodate the pistol. This lot includes the plaster life cast and a foam rubber head in the same pose, with realistic glass eyes, that was used to test or create the effect. The plaster cast measures 17" x 9.5" x 14" high and is in very good condition with light wear including small scuffs and scratches from production use and age. The rubber head measures 10.5" x 10.25" x 13.5" and displays in very good condition, with cracking across the surface, scuffs, and wear from production use. This lot also includes a Criterion Blu-ray of the film.
