372. Sidney gorilla head from The Incredible Shrinking Woman. (UA, 1981) Screen Used "Sidney" head from The Incredible Shrinking Woman (Universal, 1981) This animatronic mask was worn by Rick Baker himself in his portrayal of Sidney. Made of foam latex and hand punched hair, the head is a perfect representation of the face of an African Lowland gorilla and an early work of the makeup artist who would go on to become renown for his work for simulating apes. Used as the hero head in several scenes with actress Lily Tomlin, this head enjoyed quite a bit of screen time. Given its age, the foam is no longer flexible but still in one piece. $3,000 - $5,000
