"On my cheek there is the mole; between my teeth there is the gap."
Doesn’t look a thing like Charlton Heston. Amazing how the Mahdi looked exactly like Lawrence Olivier covered with Kiwi shoe polish though.
"On my cheek there is the mole; between my teeth there is the gap."
Olivier was splitting his time doing “Othello” at the Old Vic, and just left the makeup on when doing the Mahdi. It was a b*tch for the studio to recreate the Sudan desert around Shepperton studios. They had to practically denude all the beaches on the channel to get the sand. I might be lying about the sand...and maybe a few other things.
