He was probably right to refuse to do so. I have a mark on my hand
from a troublesome band-aid that I eventually fixed in place using spirit gum.
Even though I saturated the area liberally with pure alcohol before attempting
its removal, I have a blotch.
If my skin were lily--white or close to it, this blotch would be quite
evident. Ms. Ciccione may someday need to make money by exposing her breasts
(say, in a sideshow or some other form of Roger Corman movie). In this case,
two big blotches on them would decrease their market value(s)--Joe Bob might
only give her three stars--in which case she might very well sue the make--up
artist responsible. If such mactivity on his part were not under the aegis of
his contract, he would be in deep trouble (at least a C-cup, as her names end
in vowels).
There was an obvious solution: Let Them Go Free. It would have been
funny, there would have been nothing any child couldn 't have seen in a secret
foray into her/his father 's dresser drawer, and
IT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED _SOMETHING_ THREE--DIMENSIONAL INTO THAT MOVIE.
