Frank Worth was a friend and confidant to many of Hollywood. His personal relationship and loyalty to the stars he candidly shot kept him from publishing his images. Consequently, only a few of his extraordinary photographs were seen during his lifetime. Worth made a modest living as a freelance photographer in Hollywood during the 1940 and 50 when most photographers were constrained by the powerful studio system. However, Worth used his personal relationships to sidestep these restrictions, permitting him to capture the greatest collection of intimate images and the glamour of the icons and the era.
