Speaking of photographs and photographers, it seems to be a contest everyday which photo can get dislodged or sent askew most during the day as I wend my way back and forth down the hall in my chair or walker. Maggie Smith and Mary Wickes have been winning the last day or so. John Gielgud and Colleen Dewhurst still would be the champs. Ben and Ant are always well-behaved, although Jason Graae acts up occasionally.
As far as photographers go, George Hurrell created magic. Turnbull and Engstead (and the immortal Bruno of Hollywood) did some wonderful things, but no one ever looked like anyone in a Hurrell photo. He made them appear as if made of silver dust . Stardust, I guess.
Some subjects (Kim Novak, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Gary Cooper, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, among others) were made for the lens and some stars knew their crafts better than the photographers.
