Hollywood -- Roddy McDowalls handsome visage has been insured for $100,000 during the production of the new Planet of the Apes television series. McDowall, who plays a chimpanzee friendly to hunted astronauts in the 20th Century-Fox action-drama for CBS-TV, spends at least 50 hours a week in the tortuous simian makeup. It takes three hours to apply the makeup each day, McDowall said, It must be stuck to my face to look natural when I speak or make other facial movements. Its an unhealthy situation, basically. When I am in makeup, my skin doesnt get a chance to breathe. We have worked out a system where every few days I can get a day off to give my skin a chance to breathe again. McDowall must subsist on a liquid lunch during production, drinking through a straw. And to smoke a cigarette, he uses a foot-long holder. Thus far, his skin has been able to sustain the extensive abrasion. His head has not. I got a cyst from the wig, he said. Thats why I am being insured for the problem of reactions to the makeup. |
