Leo Fuchs and Hollywood Royalty

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday break. For a quick post today, check out this amazing gallery of Leo Fuchs prints.

Richard Lawson of Gawker, has assembled an impressive collection of Leo Fuchs photos featuring Sean Connery, Marlon Brando, Cary Grant, Jack Lemmon, and Shirley MacClaine among others. He’s caught them in candid moments that reveal something about their persona behind the lens as well as in staged settings where their power, grace, and strangely alluring presence is on full display.

As an added bonus these prints are in extremely high resolution without water marks, so I would highly recommend saving them.

Check out the full collection, but in the mean time here are a few of my favorites.

Sean Connery

Marlon Brando

Shirley MacClaine and her daughter

(This just melted my heart -- I want a future where I can see scenes like this occurring with the love of my life and my daughter every day.)

 

Cary Grant

Gina Lollobrigida

Rock Hudson and Doris Day

Marlon Brando: The Wild One

Motorcycles, rebellion, and the open road wouldn’t be the same without Marlon Brando’s “The Wild One.” Based on the Hollister Motorcycle Riots, Marlon Brando plays the leader of the rebellious bike gang the Black Rebels Motorcyle Club (what a fantastic name!). In standard rebellious fashion, he’s a rebel who plays by nobody rules -- not even his own. Although, I’m not going to lie as bad-ass as he looks, he plays his usually moody petulant self which actually makes him seem like an overgrown child throwing a tantrum in this movie. Also, let’s not forget he gets his ass handed to him by the town’s people.

On the not so badass front again, Shia LeBeouf wore the exact same outfit in Indiana Jones 4: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Last note I swear, the timeless cool of cuffed jeans, motorcycle boots, and leather is impressive. Although, you really have to be a real bad-ass to actually pull it off. Sadly, despite all my (non-existent) testosterone fueled swagger and raging muscles I'm still unable to pull this look off. Sigh, woe be me.
