She always had exciting ideas about the way that she should be photographed. She had radiance. I don't believe in that we ever, during twenty-five years that we worked together, repeated a pose....Ó George Hurrell was the finest of the Hollywood glamour photographers. This is a classic collection of Hurrell's photographs, virtually a Who's Who of the Golden Age of Hollywood. Oversized format. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
