Eugene Robert Richee (1896-1972) was one of the most famous studio photographers to come out of Old Hollywood. Noted for his use of light, mirrors and imaginative use of props, he shot hundreds of photos for Paramount, Warner Brothers and MGM. Among the stars that he showcased with his work were Marlene Dietrich, Gloria Swanson, Gary Cooper, Veronica Lake, and his most famous, Louise Brooks. Miriam "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" Hopkins liked his work so much that she would only work in front of his lens.
Scream Queen Fay Wray was also one of his subjects while she was working for Paramount. This set of photos are from the 1920's and 1930's.
