Ideal "Stars" for Colour Portraits

Hungarian Artist's Verdict Marlene Dietrich, Shirley Temple, and Anita Louise are perfect .subjects for colour photography, according to the expert in the art, Muky Munkagsi, who arrived recently from Hungary to make colour portraits of Hollywood stars. He named ten actresses whose true charm and beauty are hidden in black-and-white. The others named are Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Kay Francis, Olivia de Haviland, Dolores Del Jtio. Claudette Colbert, and Joan Blondeli. Marlene Dietrich, says Munkagsi, is the perfect photographic subject, be it black-and-white or colour. Shirley Temple and Anita Louise both have the beautiful blonde hair and twinkling dimples that delight the eye of any colour photographer. Naturally the ten ladies honoured by the Hungarian artist are pleased not only by the compliment, but because colour photography will largely replace the black-and-white film before very long.
