In this Leslie Nielsen vehicle Luanne Leseur alias Prunella Pagliacci (Kelly Lynch) is a very good thief and a master of disguise.
The old lady disguise is excellent — indeed overkill for the brief gag. It involves facial and hand prosthetics (described as deliberately cartoony by Charles Porlier), a wig, a fatsuit, and false teeth (which she puts in after finishing her phone call).
The reviews and interviews with Kelly Lynch also refer to a middle-aged male disguise but this was cut, possibly according to Charles Porlier because in the scene as the man, there is no reference to the fact that the character was in disguise; unlike the old lady scene.
I am grateful to Charles Porlier for the makeup application images and to Doug Morrow for emailing me with the following information about the makeup: The Magoo makeup on Kelly Lynch was done by Charles Porlier and myself (Doug Morrow). Charles roughly blocked out the sculpture, and I refined it, added details and then made the mould. I then ran the foam latex pieces, which Charles expertly applied on set. I also scupted and moulded a pair of hand appliances as well. Charles made the teeth...The middle age man makeup was created and shot, but was cut from the final print for some reason. For that makeup I sculpted a nose tip, and a male neck (thicker, with an adam's apple). Charles applied it as well.
