I've met that skeleton personally....and the little 12 inch box he lived in.

About five years ago, Ray Harryhausen and his wife were in San Diego for a significant period while he provided technical consulting to Legend Films as they were digitally remastering and reproducing a classic film originally shot in black and white, "She" from 1935....the color and character of the film were what Ray was there to provide continuity and realistic inputs on so that the original impact of the film was preserved as it was provided with digital colorization. Although this Film Review is critical of colorizing a film originally shot in black and white, the background details are right on target.

I had the very real privilege of meeting and getting to spend time with an icon of the "Golden Age" of fantasy and science fiction....his insights on that time were most interesting. He talked at length of some of the late-night gatherings with such other icons as Ray Bradbury and Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov.....
