Marilyn Monroe on Set “How to Marry a Millionaire”, 1953
Intimate photographs that reveal rare behind the scenes access to the most recognized figures of mid century Hollywood.
Frank Worth was an American photographer known for his close, candid documentation of Hollywood during its classic period. He photographed actors such as Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Elizabeth Taylor in both staged and informal settings, creating a personal record that was unusually unrestricted for its time. Most of his archive remained unseen for decades and was later released to significant international interest. His work is now recognized as an important contribution to the visual history of American cinema.
