Sent to Hollywood as a staff photographer for the International News Service in 1940, 17-year-old Frank Worth quickly developed a unique rapport with the A-list celebrities he encountered. Transitioning from photographer to friend with relative ease, he spent over five decades capturing some of the most remarkable candid photos of Hollywood's elite, who typically only allowed carefully posed glamour portraits and publicity shots. Despite his own financial struggles, Worth valued the privacy of his famous friends above his potential earnings, and never exhibited these images during his lifetime. After his passing in 2000, a company was formed to finally publish his thousands of unseen images. This is one of the captivating images released by the Frank Worth Estate.
