Miss May (Lynda Carter) Playboy centrefold

Miss May (Lynda Carter) Playboy centrefold
An original prop from the production of Apocalypse Now, the 1979 epic war picture directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
This prop Playboy centrefold was custom made for the production and features actress Lynda Carter of Wonder Woman fame. Carter was originally cast in the role during pre-production of the movie and travelled to the Philippines for location filming which was halted in late May 1967 when Typhoon Olga destroyed the sets, by the time production was ready to continue Carter was contracted to film Wonder Woman and could not return to the picture meaning Colleen Camp was cast as Miss May in her place. This necessitated the creation of a new centrefold so Camp was shot in a similar pose wearing the same shirt to avoid any continuity errors which may have crept in given that Coppola has shot some footage of the boat during the production hiatus and indeed the final screen capture presented here clearly shows the original Lynda Carter centrefold on screen.
The centrefold is printed in the typical manner with a large image of a topless Carter and the traditional Playboy party jokes and other content to the verso, it measures approximately 23" x 11" and remains in very good original folded condition with some minor fold line wear, overall fine.
An exceptionally rare artefact from this highly regarded Academy Award winning epic.

It’s been many many years since I saw Apocalypse Now and I’ve never seen Redux , though I caught a part of it on cable the other day. I’ve added it to my Netflix queue, but I had a few questions:
The scene I saw was a very disturbing (and well acted all around) scene in which the Playboy Playmates prostitute themselves for helicopter fuel. I’m relatively positive it wasn’t in the original. Does the film explain how they became stranded without return fuel? Since I’m relatively certain that nothing like this happened in real life, does anybody know if Hugh Hefner was one reason this was deleted from the original? Did Playboy Playmates really go that far into the Vietnamese interior?
Also, does Redux have many more scenes with Kilgore or Kurtz (particularly the latter)? The death of Kurtz in the original seemed to be one of the most rushed and anticlimactic deaths of any movie villains (it could be argued he’s not a villain but a tragic hero, etc., but whatever) ever filmed and I’ve wondered if that was intentional or due to (ahem) choppy editing.
Has anybody seen Hearts of Darkness and if so is the Playmate scene or the death scene addressed? (It isn’t currently available on video.)
You can buy Heart of Darkness from Amazon:
I think the best reason for the cut was the scene was stupid. Redux sucks on about every level.
There are is at minimum one more scene with Kilgore. It is terrible.
It involves Kilgore trying to get back a stolen surfboard.
Don’t remember about Kurtz. Don’t want to remember Redux.
I’ve rented Hearts of Darkness on video from Blockbuster. I haven’t seen it in a while so I could be totally wrong about this, but I don’t recall any mention of the Playmates or Kurtz’s death, apart from a great outtake of Marlon Brando aspirating an insect while rambling on in character. It’s also very striking to listen to Lawrence Fishburne (isn’t he about 18 in the film?) talking about making the movie, as he seems to me to very much equate the filming with actually going to war.
I quite like the extended presence of the Playmates in Redux, because that scene really horrified me. What I didn’t care much for was the addition of the scenes at the French plantation.

I got annoyed watching Adrien Brody on interview shows after the success of The Pianist because he kept making comments like “I understand so much better now what it was like to survive the Holocaust.”
Uh, no Adrien, you don’t… you understand much better now what it’s like to make a movie about surviving the Holocaust. I’ve read hundreds of books on the subject and talked to many survivors I would never presume to understand firsthand what they went through, and I hope that I never do.
Laurence Fishburne was in fact 14 as the production started for Apoclypse Now . He looked older and lied about his age.
In the original version of Apocalypse Now , the Playmates only appeared in the USO scene; there was no subsequent helicopter scene. As I recall, Coppola felt that the second scene detracted from the overall pace of the movie. To give him some credit, he had a serious commitment to his vision of the movie to be willing to edit out what would was essentially the movie’s only sex scene. Can you imagine the director of Swordfish , for example, saying “I decided to cut out Halle Berry’s topless scene - it looked good but it was slowing up the pace of the movie.”
Apocalypse Now is one of my all time favorite movies… Apocalypse Now Redux, on the other hand… sux .
The additional playmate scene isn’t tooo bad, in fact, the footage of the hurricane ravaged army camp looks pretty cool. The sex for gas scene itself?.. feh.
As for the rest…
The Good: Better sound / some good atmospheric going up the river footage
The Bad: Everything else… especially the extra Kilgore scenes that end up changing his character. Previously he had one of the all time great exits “Some day this war is going to end, Captain” (then he walks off into the smoke)… now there’s the stupid surfboard theft scene where Kilgore is turned into a joke. Also terrible, the French Plantation scene… boring… slow… pointless… poorly acted… etc. etc.

Playboy Playmates (Cynthia Wood, Linda Carpenter, Colleen Camp)

The Playboy Playmates are the only female characters in the movie (aside from the occasional Vietnamese civilian woman we see running away from gunfire, or the woman who gets shot in the boat). They also have no lines.
Anyone notice that this movie is pretty heavily focused on masculine aggression?
Willard and the crew stop at a USO show held at a large army amphitheater cleared out of the jungle. Playboy Playmates start performing seductive dances after they get off a helicopter. The soldiers start yelling things at them, like "You f***ing b****!" and "Take it off!" The soldiers rush the stage. The Playboy Playmates dash back to the helicopter for an emergency escape and get out of there pronto.
In the expanded Redux version of Apocalypse Now , there's a more extensive scene featuring these playmates as Willard and company pursue some…amorous interactions with them.
