| Geoerge Hurrell |
| George Hurrell (June 1, 1904 - May 17, 1992) was a photographer who made a significant contribution to the image of glamour presented by
Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s. |
| Hurrell photographed every star contracted to MGM, and his striking black-and-white images were used extensively in the marketing of these
stars. Among the performers regularly photographed by him during these years were silent screen star Dorothy Jordan, as well as Greta Garbo,
Myrna Loy, Robert Montgomery, Jean Harlow, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard and Norma Shearer, who was said to have refused to allow
herself to be photographed by anyone else. |
