Making a Marilyn
Photograph by Joe McNally

Hold that pose. A laser body scan takes 17 seconds to profile every curve and facial feature of a Marilyn Monroe look-alike at Cyber F/X in Hollywood. Movie studios use the light-recorded data to create digitized 3-D body doubles. Computer-generated stars are used for special effects, stunts, costume fittings, and toys. Says Cyber F/X president Dick Cavdek, “We make people immortal.”
