Alien of the deep inspired
Hollywood movie

BY EDIE WIDDER, PH.D., CHIEF SCIENTIST, OCEAN RESEARCH & CONSERVATION
ASSOCIATION (ORCA)
PHOTOS BY DR. EDIE WIDDER

Thought to be the inspiration for the movie “Alien,” this terrifying-looking mon-
ster named Phronima, carves out the insides of gelatinous organisms like salps
– barrel-shaped creatures that move by contracting to pump water through their
bodies – thus creating a home in which to lay its eggs. The eggs hatch inside the
salp’s body and then feed on what’s left of the salp, while their queen mother
guards over them. Sound familiar?

The shape of the creature’s head, which does bear a striking resemblance to that
of the alien in Ridley Scott’s 1979 movie with Sigourney Weaver, is due to very
large upward pointing tubular eyes. These enormous light collectors that form
the bulbous top of the head, funnel light to the retina, the blackish-brown com-
ma-shaped structure at their base. The creature also has a second set of eyes
on the side of its head that extend its field of view to the sides and downward.
Presumably all this visual capability helps it locate its victims. Fortunately for all
of us, Phronima is a small planktonic crustacean that, although common in the
world’s oceans, has no designs on world domination – that we know of.

signer Jean Louis was skin-tight and Nolan, of why this auction is so im-

sion that she was wearing nothing but
sequins on her bare skin.

The backless evening gown was
covered in thousands of hand-stitched
rhinestones and was designed to ac-
centuate the famous Monroe curves,
in the same way that illusion dresses
favored by Kim Kardashian and Jenni-
fer Lopez are structured today. Legend
has it the dress was so tight she had to
be sewn into it.

Jean Louis was head designer at
Columbia Pictures between 1944 and
1960. Louis created illusion dresses for
actress and singer Marlene Dietrich for
her tour, and it is thought that Monroe
asked Dietrich who had designed her
naked dresses.

The dress – which Marilyn called
“skin and beads” – will be auctioned
in November at Julien’s Auctions in
Los Angeles and the house estimates
that it could sell for up to $2.5 mil-
lion. According to reports, she bought
the dress originally for $10,000, but as
a piece of American history, its value
has soared. In 1999 the dress was auc-
tioned at Christie’s and sold for $1.27
million, becoming the most expensive
item of clothing sold at auction in his-
tory.

This is one of 500 of Monroe’s per-
sonal items which are expected to
smash records when they are auc-
tioned off in L.A. Among the collection
is her used 1947 Revlon lipstick in pink
“Bachelor’s Carnation,” complete with
smudges around the rim, which is ex-
pected to fetch up to $15,000 some 54
years after the singer’s untimely death.

“Such is the Marilyn factor that
we estimate the lipstick will sell for
$15,000-$20,000, or probably much
more. It’s so personal,” explains Mar-
tin Nolan, executive director at Ju-
lien’s.

Thayer envisioned on a half-acre wa-
terfront lot.

The true appreciator of sturdy,
lovely architecture will be drawn
to this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath house
listed for $1,795,000 with Berkshire
Hathaway HomeServices, formerly
Norris & Company.

“I wanted to build a true Flori-
da house, a Spanish-style house,”
said Thayer. “I wanted a house like
[the late resort architect Addison]
Mizner would have built. Jim Gib-
son’s eyes lit up.

“Mizner did all of those beauti-
ful houses in Palm Beach,” she said,
reflecting on the famed architect’s
Mediterranean Revival designs.

Thayer has delighted in the roman-
tic feeling of her two-story Vero Beach
home, located south of the 17th Street
Bridge, about midway between the
Moorings and Vero’s seaside village.

The welcoming courtyard with
fountain beyond the home’s iron
gates and the purple bougainvil-
lea dripping over the wall make you
feel like you are in a magical place.
A solid wooden front door leads into
a cozy hallway. The interior features
an impressive great room – 35 feet by
21 feet – with voluminous ceiling, a
den/office overlooking the water (20
feet by 13 feet), the 19-foot by 15-foot
master suite, and the spacious kitch-
en with breakfast nook. Upstairs are
two large guest rooms with private
baths and balcony access. These
guest bedrooms are 15 by 13 feet,
and 15 by 12 feet.

Stepping into the house, the Mexi-
can tile floor offers great charac-
ter and aesthetic, while decorative
painted tiles in various places includ-
ing the fireplace area, kitchen and
powder room, add a lovely touch.

Another inspiration for the house
was Ernest Hemingway’s home in
the Florida Keys, which has beautiful,
deep inset windows. Thayer request-
ed that her house feature something
similar in the powder room.
