Sean Connery gets ready to go on a golfing trip, 1962.
“I would do one of those huge movies because I want to experience it. I think it’s probably a lot easier for me to do a scene in which I’m having an intimate conversation with someone on a quiet little set than it is to scream at a blue screen because I think a giant dragon’s penis is trying to swallow me. That, to me, is going to be a challenge.” —Joaquin Phoenix

1956: Clint Eastwood, age 26, sits astride his British-made Austin-Healey convertible in Los Angeles sporting the latest in beachwear.
New York City, May 1976: “I was doing a portrait of Dustin Hoffman. I don’t remember why I asked him to come outside, because there was a huge garbage strike, which he, of course, had absolutely nothing to do with. But he was a very good sport about it, and I had a lot to learn about finding an appropriate background.” —Diana Walker

Jean Harlow photographed by George Hurrell in 1934 for the production of Jack Conway’s Born to Be Kissed (later released as The Girl From Missouri). Hurrell said of Harlow’s partial nudity: “She would just drop her dress and be nude underneath! Not in a seductive way; she just had no shame or inhibition about her body.” By the time the film was released in 1934, the Production Code was in force, and so the suggestive photo was never released.
In 1934 the MPAA voluntarily passed the Motion Picture Production Code, more generally known as the Hays Code, largely to avoid governmental regulation. The code prohibited certain plotlines and imagery from films and in publicity materials produced by the MPAA. Among others, there was to be no cleavage, no lace underthings, no drugs or drinking, no corpses, and no one shown getting away with a crime.
A.L. Shafer, the head of photography at Columbia, took a photo that intentionally incorporated all of the 10 banned items into one image.
The photograph was clandestinely passed around among photographers and publicists in Hollywood as a method of symbolic protest to the Hays Code.
