Some history on Nat Dallinger: During the studio era, a symbiotic relationship existed between movie stars and the photojournalists assigned to cover the motion picture industry. Whether documenting the domestic lives of the stars or their more glamorous nighttime exploits, these news photographers helped mold the public images of Hollywood luminaries. Nat Dallinger (1911—2006) was an integral part of this celebrity culture and one of its foremost documentarians from the 1930s until his retirement in 1971. Initially a studio photographer, he later worked for the Los Angeles bureau of The New York Times and for King Features Syndicate. His close relationships with the Hollywood establishment gave him privileged access to the most sought-after celebrities, who were captured by his lens at home, at work and at play.
