Louis Jourdan’s erotic photos by R.Voinquel
There was high excitement reverberating in 1939 from the proposed new film, “LE CORSAIRE” (directed by Marc Allégret)with Charles Boyer and the gorgeous Louis Jourdan.
But it was not to be, and after only a month of shooting, production ceased in September 1939 as France began to prepare for war. All that remains of LE CORSAIRE is a collection of random and unedited film sequences and the pictures shot on the set by photographer Raymond Voinquel, whose images of Louis Jourdan (erroneously labeled on publication as Pierre Jordan).
You might also remember Jourdan as Kamal Kahn in James Bond’s Octopussy (1983), Gigi (1958) and Letters From an Unknown Woman (1948). Check out the gorgeous shots here.

Carole Lombard’ sensual E.R Richee portraits…
Eugene Robert Richee (1895-1972), Born in Denver, Colorado is a photographer who worked for Paramount between 1925 and 1935. Between 1936 and 1944, he took jobs occasionally for Louis B. Mayer and MGM. As his talent became more and more prevalent, he was put in charge of the main portrait gallery at Paramount. From 1925 to 1935 took many photographs of Louise Brooks, Marlene Dietrich, Veronika Lake and of course Carole Lombard (1908-1942).
Richee passed away on April 21, 1972 in Orange County, California. He was survived by his wife, Levaughn Larson.
But it’s pretty safe to say that he was one of the major contributors to the look, appeal and style of many of the aforementioned divas. A lot of his works are seen and recognized online as iconic photos of film stars, only rarely identified as his own. I chose some of his underrated images , mainly of Carole Lombard…
I first saw Lombard in one of her most famous comic roles “My Man Godfrey” (1936, by Gregory LaCava). I then checked her out in Hitchcock’s ‘Mr. & Mrs Smith” (1941, one of the Hitch’s lesser known works, but still hilarious – no relation to the contemporary adaptation) & then in her last work “To Be Or Not To Be” (1942, by Ernst Lubitsch).
I thought she had a lot of spunk, great comic timing and a lot of talent which was cut short by her premature death. She was returning from a War bond drive in her home state of Indiana, when her plane crashed outside of Las Vegas in 1942, killing her and her mother and 20 other passengers !

Nastassja Kinski, Richard Avedon, Vogue and python.
Just like Helmut Newton, Richard Avedon does indeed seem to be everywhere.
He took these lovely portraits of Nastassja Kinski (Klaus Kinski’s daughter) in 1980 for the May issue of US Vogue and the famous shot of her with a serpent (not published in Vogue).
She is known for her role as “Tess” in Roman Polanski’s adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel (1979), with whom she was romantically involved prior to her liaison with Quincy Jones.
Kinski also starred as The Lady in David Lynch’s Inland Empire (2006) but indeed has been away from the spotlight for a while now….
Check her out here in Vogue and scroll down below for the famous portrait of her with the serpent.

The only male nude by Helmut Newton
Luchino Visconti’s collaborator and lover, famous Austrian actor Helmut Berger (1944- ) starred in , Conversation Piece (1974), The Damned (1969), Ludwig (1972) etc. On Ludwig, he said that after the filming, he committed himself to a sanatorium in order to rid himself of Ludwig’s character who had taken over his real-life persona.
An alleged-bisexual, Berger is also the only man ever shot nude by Helmut Newton who confined most of his works to fashion photography. “I was never interested in naked men”, the photographer said. And yet here is the iconic picture.
All rights go to Helmut Newton. I am not the author of this image (But Geez, don’t I wish I was)!
