πŸ“· Alain Adler, 1960
"Seberg’s performance feels so genuine and nervous that it can’t help but begin the blurring of the divide between her screen image and her tragedy-strewn life."

This is one of my favourite film-set photographs.

Self-portrait with Jean Seberg during the filming of Saint Joan, 1957
Her first film. Seberg called her director, Otto Preminger, "the world's most charming dinner guest and the world's most sadistic film director."

Jean Seberg by Mario Dondero
"She flits between charismatic stability and wide-eyed chaos in ways that aren’t fully describable in words but are totally engrained there on the celluloid."
- @AdamScovell
Jean Seberg by David Hurn, 1963
"If the story of Jean Seberg is one of the more wretched footnotes in the chronicle of fame, that’s all the more reason to treasure those occasions, onscreen, when she was not a victim - when she bore herself with mastery & grace."
- Anthony Lane

"The Erotic has always been implicit in Steig's work. Like Picasso, Steig celebrates the body both in ripeness and decay."

Remembering Veronica Lake on her birthday πŸŽ‚
She was so good in Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels, 1941.
I was absurdly pleased to find out this outfit was designed by Edith Head, who did the costumes for the film. Great shot by Talmadge Morrison, the on set still photographer Image
A lovely shot by Talmadge Morrison of Joel McCrea & Veronica Lake, in Preston Sturges's Sullivan's Travels, 1941
It must have been a relief for Edith Head to move on to this scene. Image
Veronica Lake by George Hurrell, 1941
Glamour is one thing, but look at Lake's eyes in this shot. Hurrell is searching for character here, & finding it. Image

πŸ“· Irving Penn, 1979
"He has never turned out bad work, nor worked without an inspiration. His stance is that not only of a professional but also of an artist - responsible, prepared, giving of his best."
- Virgil Thomson Image

"By having sold out to the mongrel commercialists half-way already, the danger is going to be wider for you, and I beg you dear Aaron, don't sell out entirely yet." Image
