Barbara Carrera

Top fashion model turned actress Barbara Carrera finds that the creatures in her new film The Island of Dr. Moreau are only human, after all. Was photographer Chris Von Wangenheim trying to recreate an X-ratedversion of I Was a Teenage Werewolf? No, says Barbara. “He set out to capture a beauty-and-the-beast tableau. It is his interpretation of H.G. Wells’s The Island of Dr. Moreau. Where the film is Victorian, the photos are contemporary. The theme is simply conquest and submission. The man’s submission at times, my submission at others.” Or, simply, who’s on top? This fantasy is unconditionally guaranteed to put hair on your chest, not to mention your palms.
