The Harriet Backer paintings are magnificent.
Lucille Ball had a work ethic – usually wins out.
I can’t get over how plain Norma Jean looked and how beautiful Marilyn Monroe looked.
The Lucille Ball and Vivien Leigh photos are beautiful (as is Myrna, of course), but the photo of Marilyn Monroe shows the woman without the makeup and lights… and who sits on a couch like Jean Patchett is sitting?
(and keep those unknown photos of Myrna coming 🙂 )
Horst Horst. Beautiful. Thank you.
