Veronica Lake in publicity photos for I Married A Witch, 1942.

Halsman ran into Taylor a few weeks later in Hollywood and when approached by him, she couldn't remember where they had met. “She could have not hurt me more," he would later reflect. "Her words showed again how important a photograph can be and how unimportant the photographer who made it.”

Original LIFE magazine caption: Walking in rain, Dean wanders anonymously down the middle of New York's Times Square. His top floor garret on Manhattan's West Side is no more home to him, he says, than the farm in Indiana. But he feels that his continuing attempt to find out just where he belongs is the source of his strength as an actor.

During their honeymoon, General John E.Hull who commanded the Army in Asia, sent an invitation to Marilyn for a tour among the American troops in Korea, which represented more than 10 000 men. Marilyn accepted, even though Joe didn’t want her to leave. She flew with Jean O'Doul (the wife of Frank ‘Lefty’ O'Doul, a friend of Joes) and Walter Bouillet (the officer responsible for the Army entertainments) for a 4-days tour and 10 performances.

The last photo was used as the cover on Natalie‘s biography called ‘Reflections on a Legendary Life’, which is the first family authorised book on her. There’s a foreword by her husband Robert Wagner and an afterword by close friend Robert Redford. Her daughter, Natasha also contributed to it. It’s honestly the perfect book if you want to know more about her life!

“'I bet you wish they would stop screaming' said Sophia. 'Never' answered Elvis. 'And I'll tell you why; they cover up my mistakes. Lots of times when I start reaching for a high note I know I'm not going to make it so I just make some crazy movement and the kids scream and no one knows the difference. You know, the hardest thing in the World is to be yourself. Everytime I'm myself I get criticised for it'. At this Sophia comforted him; 'Elvis I think you are a very nice boy' 'Thanks a lot!' answered Elvis. 'You know thats the worst thing you can say about me'. The King of Rock n Roll is one of Miss Lorens most devoted fans. He turned to one reporter and said; 'You know, I've seen every picture she's ever made. She's only seen one of mine'.” - Bob Willoughby for ‘The People’ magazine, 1994.
