Lot Essay

Hollywood during the 1940's and 50's was a place of extravagant parties, fabulous style and fascinating personalities. Jean Howard, former Ziegfeld girl and wife of producer Charles K. Feldman, was not only an accomplished actress but also a prominent socialite and photographer of Hollywood's glamour set. She documented her life and friends, which included Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe, Mr. and Mrs. Cole Porter, Cary Grant and Vivian Leigh, to name a few, with candid black and white photographs, leaving a portfolio of a past time and place.
