Frank Powolny Portrait Photography

Austrian, 1901-1986

Frank Powolny was the principal portrait and still photographer at 20th Century Fox and its predecessor from 1923–66. He captured thousands of photos of Hollywood’s most glamorous stars - most of which regaled billboards, cinema lobbies, magazines and newspapers. Powolny was one of the lead photographers, who took the last known photographs of Marilyn on the set of her final unfinished movie, Something’s Got to Give. Powolny’s unforgettable publicity image of Marilyn for the movie, Niagara, was famously appropriated by artist Andy Warhol for his iconic 1960s silkscreens.
