A Grinch (Jim Carrey) Santa costume display from Ron Howard’s family comedy How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This display consists of a coat, belt, pants, shoes, with a paint test bust completing the display. The Santa coat is made from a red terry cloth material with white fur around the collar, lapel and waist and features a hidden zipper on the back. Inside the coat is a custom made label from the costumer, John David Ridge, with "Mr. Jim Carrey" typed at the bottom, along with a handwritten marking reading “C. O’Hara Hero,” referring to the Grinch’s ski double, Chris O’Hara. Paired with the coat is a wide leather belt with a John David Ridge label that is also marked for Carrey.

The pants are made of green spandex with faux green fur hand-punched throughout. The piece is padded out in areas with foam and features a separate fur cod piece that snaps into the pants. The elastic waist features various fasteners meant to correspond with an undersuit. Worn on the feet is a pair terry cloth poulain-style shoes with a curled toe. The front of the shoes has been stuffed with cotton and includes a single jingle bell attached to the tip. The shoes fasten with a Velcro strip on the back.

The fully painted head was created on a biscuit foam head cast with foam appliances glued down, blended, and painted just as they would be if applied to the actor. The terry cloth and cotton Santa hat completes the lot. These pieces are presented as a custom mannequin display. Although there is light wear on the clothing and small marks on the bust have been restored, this lot remains in good condition. Dimensions: 23” x 20” x 76” (58 cm x 51 cm x 193 cm)
