People who were originally intended for the front cover but were ultimately excluded:
- Leo Gorcey - was modelled and originally included to the left of Huntz Hall, but was subsequently removed when a fee of $400 was requested for the use of the actor's likeness.[2][3]
- Mohandas Gandhi - was modelled and originally included to the right of Lewis Carroll, but was subsequently removed. According to McCartney, "Gandhi also had to go because the head of EMI, Sir Joe Lockwood, said that in India they wouldn't allow the record to be printed".
- Jesus Christ - was requested by Lennon,but not modelled because the LP would be released only a few months after Lennon's Jesus statement.
- Adolf Hitler - was modelled and was visible in early photographs of the montage, positioned to the right of Larry Bell, but was eventually obscured by Johnny Weissmuller in the final image.
- Tin-Tan - Mexican actor. He requested that Ringo swap him for a Mexican Tree, and he did.
