R. I. P. Ted White (1926-2022)
Word is Ted passed in his sleep today. I remember seeing him at Monster Mania in Cherry Hill in 2018 and got a photo with him. Even though he only played Jason for money and never liked horror movies, he was a kind man who truly enjoyed meeting the fans, whom he called "some of the nicest people I've ever met." Truly amazing that he kept showing up for us for conventions, autographs and photo ops until he was well into his nineties.
I don't doubt Ted would rather be remembered for his cowboy roles and having stunt doubled for John Wayne and Charlton Heston, having an onscreen sword fight with Caesar Romero, among scores of other roles in his six decade career. Let's not also forget that he was a World War II veteran, played football, boxed, and even worked for Howard Hughes briefly. The guy truly had an amazing life. R. I. P. Ted.

The Best Photo of the Part 8 Hero You'll Ever See
From the upcoming Propstore auction of Mario's collection. You can see here how the mask was basically put together pretty clearly. Basecoat of silver on a clear blank, then a coat of yellow was sprayed with sort of incomplete coverage. Then weathering and scraping of the yellow coat was done to make it look damaged, followed by a misting of black spray paint to create a gritty effect. Then of course the red marks, straps, etc. Very rare you see this kind of detail of a screen-used mask. Click to enlarge.
