id you know that Dr. Russell Marvin (Hugh Marlowe) from Earth Vs.
The Flying Saucers also dated Patricia Neal in the same house that Klatu (Michael Rennie)
stayed in, in The Day The Earth Stood Still? Benjamin has gotten
to be quite good at spotting 50's and 60's science fiction movie actors
and SF references in films. Two of his favorite monsters are expressed above, Mothra
and a crawling eye from The Crawling Eye, favorite themes in his
drawings.| Benjamin's Top Ten |
