...rebirth of Homo habilis was not easy. Fischer asked Hollywood Makeup Artist Bob O'Bradovich, whose credits include work for Beatlemania and the Hallmark Hall of Fame, to prepare a mask of Homo habilis from Leakey's sketches. A rubber model was made in New York, which Fischer and O'Bradovich then took to Leakey in Nairobi...
There the anthropologist ordered several revisions, and O'Bradovich made a new model. The shopping list he gave our Nairobi bureau included a pair of brown glass eyes, a dead rabbit and false eyelashes; and he also requested a personal guard to protect his equipment and handiwork from whatever hazards might lurk in the bush. In three 18-hour days, O'Bradovich fashioned a plaster head modeled from skull fragments, then used the head to mold a latex mask of a Homo habilis face. A Kenyan volunteer wore the mask for Fischer's cover photograph, taken...
Another Disaster. Giant doctors shot him full of novocain and cortisone, sent him back for the second half. Tittle tried another screen pass. This time "Big Ed" O'Bradovich, a 6-ft. 3-in., 255-lb. end, picked it off and lumbered to the Giant 14. Quarterback Wade scored again for the Bears. After that there was only desperation. Tittle threw, and the Bears intercepted-once, twice, the last on a frantic heave into the end zone with only five seconds left. The ball sailed into the arms of Chicago Safetyman Richie Petitbon. Final score: Bears 14, Giants...

Pass defense? The Bears' opportunist secondary...
...talk, of course, was witty and waspish, pithy and pulverizing, often profound; but "the slovenly particularities" of the man were never forgotten by Directors Alan Schneider and Seymour Robbie, or by Makeup Man Bob O'Bradovich, who helped make Peter Ustinov's Johnson the goutiest, twitchingest, most scarred and scrofulous hulk of a man ever to wobble across the TV screen. It took 36-year-old British Actor Ustinov two hours to glue down his beard, stuff himself with padding, and secure the five-piece foam latex mask that had been modeled on Sir Joshua Reynolds' celebrated...
