John Chambers, a make-up genius and a dear man, was very kind and considerate as he placed straws up my nose, applied layers of Plaster of Paris on my face, all the while patting me, continuously cautioning me not to move! It was an agonizing experience for me, and it took forever it seemed.

These days, I believe the process is much simpler and quicker. Chambers was wonderful throughout-Finally, the damned plaster dried and he carefully removed it. I heaved a great sigh of relief and went back to the set to work.

I was gifted with one of the heads in a plastic case- it lasted about 4 years, then dried up and disintegrated.

Bill Mumy:

I remember that in the episode "Space Destructors" I had to go through a 4 hour process in which John Chambers was to make what they call a "death" mask out of Plaster of Paris. This required a lot of patience as you had to sit perfectly still in the makeup chair and not move."
