Clarence Sinclair Bull photos

Here is another series of photos, this time taken by Bull, showing Dorothy in sexy little pleated outfit. Not sure of the year on these. Bull was head of MGM's stills department for nearly 40 years and took photos of all the leading stars there. He is especially famous for his portraits of Greta Garbo.

Dorothy on the doghouse?

I never get tired of finding new Dot pictures. When I got the last bunch of magazine pictures and articles this was one of her sitting on top of a doghouse (right) isn't it funny? What didn't the MGM publicity department think of?! This series of photos, taken by William Grimes in 1929, has her painting, gardening and even carrying around a large old pump bug spray gun.. And doing all her chores in heels too!

Isle of Forgotten Women Tranparency

Ever the conservative with my more delicate Dorothy items, I hate to scan in some things that I don't think will handle all the activity well. Sometimes I am too conservative though. Take this transparency for instance; it's been stored away for over a year until I rediscovered it and thought "What if I did scan it in and reverse the image?" I'm not sure of it's age but I figure what's the point of having it if I don't actually look at it?! So, here it is, and it's quite decent actually..

Dorothy with Anita Page

Here's a sweet photo of Dorothy with Anita Page taken at the beach in Santa Monica. I recently received a bunch of nice magazine clippings, including a few with these two ladies together. They'll be showing up on the website in the very near future. The ladies look so relaxed and natural with their messy hair. Don't you just love it?!

Love this picture!

Like I wrote on my website, I think this is just wonderful. Learning how to better utilize my photoshop has just added itself to my to-do list. I've added the artists blog to my list here if you want to check it out.
