I like that look for Andre. He could maybe have battled Lou Ferrigno ("The Incredible Hulk") on a special event show that was running those days, called Battle of the Network Stars. Cheesy premise, but I thought it was actually pretty amusing.

Andre is a little mad because he's late and hasn't gotten to makeup yet. It takes hours to put on that costume, and Lee is just holding him up asking for pictures.

Meanwhile, I'm a little curious if Lee is wearing a wig, there. The top portion looks characteristic of that, anyway.
