(20th Century Fox, 1967) A master model for Orangutan makeup designed by the legendary John Chambers for the original “Planet of the Apes” film. Chambers cast this orangutan in foam to make a toolstone mold for creating full-head latex appliances that match this in appearance. The masks from this master were used for many secondary orangutan characters in the films. Chambers was awarded a special Oscar for Makeup for his groundbreaking work on “Planet of the Apes” in 1969. Measuring 8” x 12” x 14” tall, the master model displays in good condition, with cracking and flaking of the surface layer mainly along edges and seams, and light surface discoloration from age.
