DeForest Kelley posing with namesake and inventor, Lee de Forest. I had no idea they met, let alone on the set of Warlock. This photo is so wild it's almost hard to believe. Not only is it a rare shot of De as Curley Burne, but why is de Forest even on set? 1958 is a little early for De to have more-famous-than-him historical figures as fans, so was it purely coincidence? Did De spot him, jump off his horse, and take a fanboy photo? Judging by the costume and dirt smudge on his right cheek, this photo was taken on one of two shooting days, either at Professor Valley outside Moab, UT, or a studio backlot in LA:
It seems unlikely they would have run into 85-year-old de Forest wandering the desert, so I'm guessing he dropped in on the day the sheriff was sent packing. The saloon scene probably would have been filmed at the same location, so maybe it was all part of Princess Sofia's visit. So many unknowns, but one thing's for certain: Curley Burne is looking fine as hell 🔥🔥🔥
Perhaps @cheer-deforest-kelley or @peridotsarelongterm have more info.
(I colorized this photo [a good portion painted by hand], but I couldn't find any color references for Lee de Forest so his pigmentation and clothing colors are a guess. The same goes for Curley's dirt/dust stains; hard to tell where they were based on subtle grey tone variations.)
Edit: adding the black and white version for clarity:
Grand County terrain is arid, rough, and spectacularly carved by water and wind erosion, exposing red rock formations that have created a solid tourist industry. The area is little used for agriculture unless irrigation is available. The terrain is filled with hills and protuberances, but generally slopes to the south and to the west. Its highest point is Mount Waas in the SE part of the county, at 12,336' (3760m) ASL. The county has a total area of 3,684 square miles (9,540 km2), of which 3,672 square miles (9,510 km2) is land and 12 square miles (31 km2) (0.3%) is water. Deserts, cliffs and plateaus make up the scenery, with few settlements apart from the city of Moab, a Colorado River oasis. Arches National Park lies in the southern part of the county, just north of Moab. A northern portion of Canyonlands National Park lies in the southwest corner of the county.
were the main cities shown in sehhinah (ennuh eden akal-ne and askannan) based off of any irl cities? or inspired by any other fictional city-concepts?
oh shit was I going to answer this months ago? oops
ennuh: uh. obviously in theory real middle east stuff but I haven't been there so in personal terms uhhh moab, UT but way, way bigger.
eden: nowhere I've been! other than in terms of general ecosystem/landscape/climate, which isn't that far off from ennuh's
akal-ne: ...denver, slightly? obviously also inspired by that other huge famous steppe, the big eurasian one
askannan: tropics in general but in practical draw-from-my-memories terms some parts of hawai'i (where I went to college)
....none of these places are as cool as their sehhinah counterparts though 😆
You grinned at the camera, threw your arms out to the world like you owned it, and Jesus Christ, Steve Harrington made you feel like you did.
