O autorze

Bob Willoughby (1927-2009), whose photographs transformed the images of Hollywood's biggest stars, is a true pioneer of 20th-century photography. He was the first "outside" photographer hired by the major studios to create photographs and was the link between the filmmakers and the era's major magazines, such as LIFE and LOOK. His career was launched when Warner Bros. asked him to photograph Judy Garland's final scene on the set of A STAR IS BORN, which then became his first LIFE cover. His images were in print every week for the next 20 years. His extensive photographs of jazz musicians of the era are also revered, and his work is in the permanent collections of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Beverly Hills); the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York); the Tate Gallery (London); the National Portrait Gallery (Washington, DC); and many more.
