In the episode ‘The Cavewoman’ Nick discovers that there is a hot cavewoman, Heather (Kim Director), working at the counter of the new Fruitberry Frozen yogurt-shop. Nick ends up hitting on Heather and taking her back to the apartment. I understand that she would have appeared in two further episodes but the show was canned before they aired. I had assumed from the premise of Cavemen that there would be an absence of cavewomen from the show, so Heather (Kim Director) was a pleasant surprise. I’m grateful to makeup artist Corinna Liebel for the image of Kim as Heather. Corinna described the makeup as an interesting and rare instance where a combination of prosthetic and beauty makeup was required.
Kelly Stables would have appeared as Rocky the Cave Kid in another episode that never reached the screen. I am grateful to Richard Redlefsen for the image of Kelly in his makeup as Rocky.
I live in – faint – hope that the rumours of a DVD release may eventually prove to be true.
Michele Tyminski was makeup department head; Tony Gardner was makeup effects supervisor; Corinna Liebel, Richard Redlefsen, & Ozzy Alvarez were special makeup effects artists on various episodes; Dave Snyder was prosthetic makeup artist on some episodes.
