Golden Age Glamour! See George Hurrell’s Stunning Portraits of Hollywood’s Leading Legends


George Hurrell captured some of the most iconic photos of Hollywood legends, as you can take a look at the portraits which are part of a new Smithsonian exhibit.

“I have always known what I wanted, and that was beauty in every form,” said Joan Crawford, with her frequent co-star (and on-off lover) Clark Gable) in a 1936 portrait by George Hurrell. As one of Hollywood’s favorite photographers, Hurrell, who began his career at MGM Studios, created glamorous stills of actors like Dorothy Lamour, best known for her road movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Hurrell captured the charm and natural grace of actor and dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson in 1935 using his favorite large format camera.
