48 • THE ARTISAN SPRING 2025
A Magnum Onboard
Barry Koper, then the Head of Makeup for CBS Studios/
Television City,
remembers the very first photo shoot
for Season 1 of the original
Magnum P.I. (1980-1988).
After many photos were shot on the water in Marina
del Rey, Tom Selleck and Barry began making funny
faces for the camera. Then they moved onto the red
Ferrari that was going to be used on the show. Take
notice of the powder puff in Barry's hand.
