Bob Willoughby: "Vintage Hollywood"



“Vintage Hollywood” presents Bob Willoughby’s original vintage prints from the great classic films of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, as well as the famous icons of Hollywood cinema.

In 1954, Willoughby was assigned to photograph Judy Garland in the film 'A Star Is Born'. He worked so well with Garland that Warner Brothers asked him to return to photograph the ‘Lose that Long Face’ sequence. This was unprecedented as he became the first ‘special’ photographer to work on what were always closed film sets. This assignment resulted in his first Life Magazine cover and forged a twenty-year collaboration with the publicity departments of the major studios and feature magazines of the time.

"Vintage Hollywood" can be seen from Aug 9 - Sep 20, 2008 at the
