I came across this amazingly cool photo, so I've decided to share:




'Feb 5, 1959.'

Lower row: Marilyn Monroe, Isak Dinesen (Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke) and Carson McCullers.

Upper row: Arthur Miller, Felicia Geffen, Jordan Massee and Clara Svendsen.




Now you!
Post a photo that you find interesting.

The 60's










The glam 00's

Was this taken by Allan Ginsberg by chance? I went to a fascinating exhibition in Madrid in the summer. It was a collection of photographs by people in the media. There was a collection by Allan Ginsberg which included photos similar to the above and in particular some haunting portraits of William Burroughs.

Whore.

are you still angry at me that I called you a hooker?

JDInteractive said:

I don't know the name of the photographer but I doubt it was Ginsberg.
I can't find any mentioning that he was at that party.

Imago said:

Oh I forgot about that.
Thanks for reminding me.

Imago said:

Reminds me of that woman from The Mamas & Papas.

Okay that's not a photo but I love it so here it goes.

Fairuz. Her vulnerability after her husband passed away, and yet her head is still up high.

not a photo, but i loooove this

Actress Faten Hamama. This film Oreedu Hallan (I Need A Solution) was the reason Egyptian courts developed a rule that gives women the right to divorce their abusive husbands by force.

Who is this? I like this photo.

Byron said:

I adore DeCavara's work from the 1950s.

My absolute favorite of his I can't find online, tho ...lammistide found it once, of a black man walking from right to left and a small white (I think) boy walking from left to right...and on the wall behind them and place in between them, a graffiti skull. Very powerful image.

Erm....hello....Fay Dunaway.

Here a color version.



Renowned photographer Terry O'Neill was involved with this leading lady when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as ruthless TV executive Diana Christensen in the 1976 classic "Network." One of O'Neill's most famous images, this spectacular color print depicts Faye reclining poolside with her Oscar and the day's headlines the morning after her triumph. A photograph from this edition hangs in the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London, England.

Reminded me of another great by Norman Rockwell.
Spine-chilling.

PricelessHo said:

Love it.
It a shame I've seen only one movie with her.

rushing07 said:

Definitely ...Norman Rockwell always had social commentary in his work, both obvious and subtle.

PricelessHo said:

Wow. Amazing.

Saved.

Two portraits of Carson McCullers, who was invented one of the most interesting theories of love.

rushing07 said:

Erm...

That's who I thought it was, but didn't want to make my uneducated self look like an idiot if I was wrong!

I like the black and white better and it actually seems to be a little different. Her hair right at the top of her head looks different.

PricelessHo said:

I like her.

Byron said:

HAHA!

That's Helen Levitt, right?
