Connie Boyer, listed in the credits of LOTM under "Additional Make Up" - and of our WWW Board fame - began her journey into MohicanLand as an Asheville, NC convenience store clerk. Having done some acting and make-up & hair work in the theatre, she called the local office of the production company upon hearing of the upcoming making of LOTM. Peter Robb-King, the head make-up guy, hired her on the spot. Our good fortune! Connie has an incredible array of photos from the sets, some of which we present below. Thank you, Connie!

The tough work of a make-up artist; Connie Boyer at work!

knees! That was my job! lol! ... Connie
Michael Mann at
Massacre Valley
camera setup at massacre valley. I guess you recognize MM.
The guy in the white headband is Gusmano Cesaretti, (a visual consultant) He was the very sweet

Italy. (they included a futon & some great local pottery!) ... Connie
Eric Schweig, Beasley Willis, Sr. & Russell Means
[Willis'] 1st movie & probably his last. Not because he was
bad! He was one of the hundreds of Indian extras found in the remote parts of the
country. By the way... 90% of the stunt men you see in the credits started out as
extras. Somewhere along the line someone had the good taste to give them the titles of stunt men because they were really doing the job!

Air-brushing tattoos on Uncas
I know the girls will love this one! Eric getting his tattoos airbrushed by the head of the tattoo
dept, Russell Dodson (he was only 23, a real cut up! He was always pulling
stunts (practical jokes) that would have gotten him fired if they knew who did
them. Mitzi Gunter (our boss) always covered for him ... Connie
