A photo of Elizabeth "Betty" Mulvihill and her handsome date, taken by an unknown photographer at a UCLA sorority dance, circa 1950.
Many will recognize a younger James Dean than we typically see in pictures and movies. He is nineteen or twenty here, in the year before he traveled to New York and studied in The Actor's Studio under Lee Strasberg.
Provenance of this photo is uncertain. Family members believed the negative was stored in the floor safe in Betty's Costa Mesa home, but it has never been found there or elsewhere. I don't believe she was ever in possession of the negative, but rather a silver print, as it was the practice of photographers in those days to sell prints and retain the negatives and rights to their images. This photographer would have had no knowledge of James' future fame or the potential value of this image. The negative was probably filed away and later discarded.
The silver print has, likewise, never been found. What you see here is a scan of a low quality 11X14 enlargement that hangs in our dining room. I've made minimal adjustments for tonal scale.
James was studying theater at UCLA, and first met Betty's mother and aunt at their hair salon in nearby Beverly Hills. As the story is told, he also received math tutoring from Betty's aunt in the Beverly Hills home she shared with Betty's mother.(these were remarkably successful and independent women).
Betty was young, smart, beautiful and--best of all--only 5'-2" tall. They made a stunning couple, and saw one another often until James departed for New York.
Sadly, this is where their story ended.

A lunch date at a local Italian restaurant with a dear and beautiful friend Angela. It was great to catch up and spend some quality time together. Friends are so important and very close friends feel like family. Angela is beautiful inside and out, and is so good for my emotional and spiritual wellbeing. An amazingly intelligent woman that can discuss any subject. A truly caring, thoughtful and strong woman
Caroline and Quinn have been trying to meet each other for months, so when Quinn text me about doing a shoot yesterday afternoon, I figured I'd try to make it happen. Since I have an inability to shut up and I keep meeting new people, it's gotten much harder over the past couple of years to introduce all of my models to the new faces. They tend to just admire each others photos when I post them, and form some sort of digital connection.
But these two got to play by the river for a bit, and we got some great photos on some snazzy looking gold frame Impossible Project film. We even saw a huge snake swimming in the river, looking for a warm enough spot to chill. So that was two first: these lovely ladies meeting and seeing a snake by the river. You never know what a day can bring.

I'm not certain of the date, but, I'm glad I kept this around. It's one of the few AEM-7's I photographed in this paint scheme. It would be a guarentee delete today, but, sometimes you get lucky with what sticks around.
