The Nutty Professor, Foam Figure for reference

original production material

An Eddie Murphy foam figure from Tom Shadyac’s comedy The Nutty Professor. This piece was made during production as reference when designing Murphy’s extensive make-up and wardrobe for the film. The piece consists of a foam body with braided metal armature wire running throughout to make the figure posable. The dense foam latex head resembles Murphy and is permanently attached at the end. This piece shows light wear with small rips in the foam and remains in fragile condition. Dimensions: 3” x 7” x 22” (8 cm x 18 cm x 56 cm)
