Frankly, a Cut Above the Rest
In 1965, photographer John Dominis spent a couple of weeks with Frank Sinatra and ended up capturing this intimate portrait of him shaving. This scene was a stark contrast to the star’s otherwise glamorous persona, where he was rarely spotted in anything but designer suits, dressed to the nines and looking completely opulent. We would love to take such a tour of the star’s personal life this one, where he was truly himself.
The Lion in the Limelight
We will let you guess what is happening here. We will give you a hint: it was the first few seconds of many films. Have you ever wondered about that lion in MGM’s opening credits? Well, the film was taken in 1928 and the star of the show was, well, Leo the Lion. The now-iconic shot must have had a fair bit of risk involved, but it was reported that no-one was injured during the filming.
