(20th Century Fox, 1967) The life mask of actor Maurice Evans used to create the best-known character of the original “Planet of the Apes” series, Doctor Zaius. The legendary makeup artist John Chambers cast this in plaster, labeled it “M. Evans” in marker, and sculpted the Zaius prosthetic masters out of clay directly on this mask, which still bears faint clay residue from that original process. Chambers was awarded a special Oscar for Makeup for his groundbreaking work on “Planet of the Apes” in 1969. Measuring 11.5” x 6.25” x 5.25”, the mask is in very good production-used condition.
