That was the theatrical ack version. (Gawd how I hate that movie now.) It pretty much set my visual image of the Baron since I saw it before I ever opened the books. LOL! Here's what Frank Herbert said by way of description of Baron Harkonnen during the Dune series: Puffy features. Red-faced. Swollen face. Heavy arms. Flaccid arms. Pudgy hands. Grotesquey swollen belly. Swollen fingers. Thick Reddish eyebrows. Pasty face. Flabby skin. Here's how he was described as a young man in the new House Harkonnen before Mohiam infected him : Lean and muscular. Spider Black Eyes. Rakish good looks. Reddish Gold hair with a distinctive widow's peak. Smooth skin. High Cheekbones. Thick lips. Strong chin. Narrow hips. Broad shoulders. Firm pectorals. Flat abdomen. Generous mouth. Thick hair. Hope that helps ya some! ;o) -Em
