Description
"Taylor began his career in films in 1934 when he signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He won his first leading role the following year in Magnificent Obsession. His popularity increased during the late 1930s and 1940s with appearances in A Yank at Oxford (1938), Waterloo Bridge (1940), and Bataan (1943). During World War II, he served in the United States Naval Air Corps, where he worked as a flight instructor and appeared in instructional films. From 1959 to 1962, he starred in the ABC series The Detectives Starring Robert Taylor. In 1966, he took over hosting duties from his friend Ronald Reagan on the series Death Valley Days."
This picture is typical of the exquisite portrait photos taken by studio photographers during the golden age of Hollywood. The lighting here is perfection. One of the very best George Hurrell took the image.
The lighting used on the "Death Valley Days" set was typical TV lighting - flat overhead lighting with little fill lighting to create a sculptured look.
