1950's Colourised Jackie Hayes Irving Klaw (FI-311)
Jackie Hayes, appears to be a Female Impersonator from the 1950's who was self-described as "“America’s Foremost Female Impersonator”. There are several other images of this fine illusionist online, particularly the images produced by Anthony Bruno (aka Bruno of Hollywood), but right from my early days of interest in this topic I have admired this performer but the quality of the image was restricted as it seemed to be a scanned image from a Nutrix magazine. The photo was inscribed with the name of "Jackie Hayes" (an example can be found herhttp://vickirene.net/showgirls/showgirls-of-yesterday/jackie-hayes/) and I believed the original photographer was Irving Klaw (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irving_Klaw) and recently a collection of prints was made available for online auction which included a much improved quality version of the image that I have used as the basis of my work.
Once again, more details of Jackie are hard to come by and all that remains are these few images that occasionally pop up on online auction sites, or what little may appear in online reference libraries/archives. As always, only to pleased to hear from anyone who maybe able to shed some more light on this performer.
Technically, I have greyscaled the original image, performed some "healing" and cloning to remove the inscription and then added the colour layers one by one. One is never certain if the colours are accurate and therefore the representation is to my taste and interpretation.
