Ex-[[CIA]] chief of disguise [[Jonna Mendez]] stated in 2019 that a mask of Harrison was used by multiple CIA agents for covert work. The moulds of his face were larger and so could fit over a smaller agent's face. The moulds were made from aluminium and bought from Hollywood film facilities. She mentioned that his likeness was "taking part in a lot of operations".<ref name="Wired">{{Cite video |url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUqeBMP8nEg&t=11m22s |title=Former CIA Chief of Disguise Breaks Down 30 Spy Scenes From Film & TV |date=2019-05-08 |last=Wired}}</ref> According to Mendez, Rex Harrison's aluminium facial props mould was used as a baseline for over-the-head masks that the agency would create and use operationally. The masks came in small, medium and large sizes, with Rex's mould becoming the agency's standard "large" size. Subsequently, many undercover operatives' real identities were disguised by masks bearing Rex's facial features.<ref name="Wired" />
