...series of clay models for screen testing for Spielberg before building the creature. Finally, Rambaldi made an aluminum and steel skeleton and then laboriously built up a musculature of fiberglass, polyurethane and foam rubber, layer upon layer. Each layer represents a muscle responsible for a body movement or facial expression, and each is connected to a mechanical control or electronic servomechanism. At his most complicated, with Rambaldi and up to ten assistants pulling his levers, E.T. can execute 150 separate motions, including wrinkling his nose, furrowing his brow and delicately crooking his long fingers. It was not feasible to cram...
...disease. In tuberculoid leprosy, few bacilli are present, and the symptoms are pale, patchy spots on the face, hands and feet.

And Henry's actions make friends turn into enemies and enemies turn into power-crazed villians...
...challenge. Maintaining his seemingly subservient character throughout the play. Knapp sprinkles his common mannerisms with a casualness that reduces the plot to its ultimate theme: a struggle to follow one's beliefs. Knapp embodies his character with a subtle insolence--almost cynicism--through his keen looks and carefully gauged facial expressions. Although the Common Man fawns at his various masters' feet, his very submission enables him to retain a distance from the other characters...
