Bob Willoughby

Willoughby studied photography at the film school at the University of Southern California and worked under graphic designer Saul Bass at the Kahn Institute of Art.

[2] Between 1948 and 1954, Willoughby's exhibitions of photographs of jazz musicians and dancers[3] led to a contract with Globe Photos, and one, of a screaming female audience, was selected by Edward Steichen for The Family of Man exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art which toured the world to be seen by 9 million visitors.

Willoughby's big break came when he was assigned by six magazines to photograph Judy Garland during the filming of A Star is Born (1954).

Much of his best work revolved around stars like Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor or Marlene Dietrich.
