George Hurrell was one of the most important Hollywood photographers of all times. Don’t miss this site which has tons of samples. Also slate.com just had a tiny feature (with a very very sad portrait of the dumbest Austrian export since 1945). You know, when I look at photos like this one or this one and compare it with what current Hollywood photographers produce… I am sure yesterday’s celebrities were as shallow and vain as today’s; but will we look at photos of today’s celebrities in fifty years and be amazed about classic beauty? I doubt it.
