Frank Worth was an American photographer who befriended and photographed many Hollywood actors and actresses (Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Frank Sinatra) between 1939 and 1964. His black and white candid pictures are unusual for the era: whereas most stars limited themselves to carefully posed glamour portraits, he created unposed and natural and intimate pictures. His work offers a nostalgic and personal glimpse into classic Hollywood, preserving the charm and charisma of teh celebreties. Worth's work remained largely unknown until after his death in 2000.
