This is a white hydrocal wall hanging life-cast made as display piece. This extremely rare life mask / sculpture was made for Frank Sinatra’s cameo as a gypsy in the 1963 film "The List of Adrian Messenger".

Unfortunately this casting is mostly sculpted, but the sculptor and the story behind this extremely rare piece is worth its weight in gold. The story I’ve been told is that Frank Sinatra couldn’t stand the life-casting process, so he tore off the mold prematurely before it was properly set. The talented make-up artist John Chambers and equally talented sculptor Chris Mueller Jr. were left with the daunting task of fixing the cast. With Chamber’s calipers and Mueller’s sculpting tools they came up with this sculpture of Frank. The sculpture was sufficient enough to make Frank his prosthetic mask for the film and it also makes a cool display piece.
