Glamour in Long Beach...Vanishing Soon
Photographer George Hurrell created the iconic style of Golden Age Hollywood glamour portraits. (For more on Hurrell, see my Slate slideshow here.) Since July, an amazing exhibition of more than 100 of his photos from the 1930s to the 1980s has been on display the Queen Mary in Long Beach. The exhibit's last day is January 1. Admission is included in several Queen Mary tour packages, or you can just go to the exhibit for $10. From now until the close of the exhibit, you also get a free copy of the beautiful catalog, with an essay by yours truly.
