...often, recalls Producer Frank McCarthy, "that they were completely worn out when he finally returned them." Scott also read 13 Patton biographies several times each, had his dentist mold him a set of caps to duplicate Patton's teeth, shaved his head and wore a wig of realistic white fuzz. He even insisted on having moles on his face identical to Patton's and filled in part of his nose to make it more like the general's. When she saw the film, Patton's daughter was astonished. "Once it gets rolling, a character is never off my mind," Scott...
...Friday evening riots in the main quad. There's no place like a riot for observing the cheese. By the time I got there, however, only a few whiffs of smoke were rising from the charred remains of the president's house, and the fuzz had already doused the flames at the base of her stake and untied the dean of women, who was still only medium rare.

Monsters run the joint. There is, for instance, a bundle of fuzz with pingpong-ball eyes and a sonic boom of a voice known only as Cookie Monster (no middle initial). His appetite is so fierce that, given a choice between ten thousand dollars and a cookie, he opts immediately for the latter. There are other creatures on the show, like Bert and Erniehumanoids with cartoon hands, three fingers and a thumb. Bert, who has one frowning eyebrow, chivvies Mutt-and-Jeff style with Ernie, a bulbous-nosed charmer whose favorite sport is sitting in the tub, rhapsodizing...
