In the days before the paparazzi was hunting down the famous with telephoto lenses, Hollywood's greatest actors were expertly lit with a sensuous haze and encouraged in their most stunning pose. Then, tens of thousands of prints were sent of to fans and media outlets.
70 classics from the 1920s through the 1960s are on view at the London's National Portrait Gallery exhibit Glamour of the Gods: Hollywood Portraits. See Marlin Brando's brooding mid a seductive slump, Elizabeth Taylor looking smokin' on the beach, and Jean Harlow’s radiating extreme looks.
