Vacation plans were put aside when he was offered Planet of the Apes. Which brings us back to Covina, on that day in 1960 when Baker caused panic by covering a neighbor boy with a fake third-degree burn. "I realized it was a pretty sick thing to do," he says. That's when little Rick turned his attention to primates. "Because of King Kong, the gorilla was the perfect Hollywood monster. I really felt it was something that I could do.
