Our expert's notes

Digit's (John Alexander) back-up head skin from Michael Apted's Gorillas in the Mist. Primatologist Dian Fossey (Sigourney Weaver) infiltrated a band of gorillas in Rwanda and fought for the survival of Digit and the rest of his pack.
Created by Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios, this black foam latex mask features hand-punched fur around the face and faux fur on the top and back of the head. Painted to appear lifelike, the mask is presented on a biscuit foam gorilla head mounted to a 12" x 12" (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) wood board. The mask remains in fair and fragile condition with wear, including deteriorating material particularly above nose ridge between eye sockets with visible crack and a missing section on the back of the head.
