I was so happy to see this photograph between David Banner and the Hulk off screen. It speaks to the power of a makeup-prosthetic character to express the split in the human... that duality manifested in flesh :).

Wow! Thanks for sharing... some of these candids between Mark Hamill and the puppet are as powerful as the film stills #PUPPET #starwarspuppetry
You ever get that feeling that somebody is drilling holes in the back of your head with their eyes????

Contrary to what we're taught in school, people remained enslaved in the US almost 2.5 years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth marks the day final slaves in Texas were freed, celebrating true Independence. I encourage everyone to learn the history of the holiday!
Thanks Brian Jay Jones and all those reminding us of the Henson spirit. And though we don't always see it, puppets are a powerful way to communicate; artists and performers on Sesame Street, the Muppet Show and elsewhere GOT it #puppet

“Mattel released the first Black and Hispanic Barbie dolls, challenging the long-held perception that the doll represented a singular standard of beauty. The first Black Barbie doll wasn’t introduced in 1980, but in 1968”
