PETER BASCH
(1921-2004) was a German/American glamour photographer who captured thousands of images of the most prominent stars of the 50s and 60s. Peter Basch was born in Berlin, Germany, the only child of Felix Basch and Grete Basch-Freund, both prominent theater and film personalities of the German-speaking world. In 1933 the family came to New York due to fears of rising anti-Jewish sentiment and laws in Germany. The family had US citizenship because Felix's father, Arthur Basch, was a wine trader who lived in San Francisco. After moving back to Germany, Arthur Basch kept his American citizenship, and passed it to his children and, thence, to his grandchildren. When the Basch family arrived in New York in 1933, they opened a restaurant on Central Park South in the Navarro Hotel. The restaurant, Gretel's Viennese, became a hangout for the Austrian expatriate community. Peter Basch had his first job there as a waiter. While in New York, Basch attended the De Witt Clinton High School. The family moved to Los Angeles to assist in Basch's father's career, during which time Basch went to school in England. Upon returning to the United States, Basch joined the Army. He was mobilized in the US Army Air Forces' First Motion Picture Unit, where he worked as a script boy. After the war, he started attending UCLA and started taking photographs of young starlets working with other photographers and film studios. His mother asked him to join her back in New York after she and his father decided that Basch should be a photographer and they obtained a photography studio for their son. For over twenty years, Peter Basch had a successful career as a magazine photographer. He was known for his images of celebrities, artists, dancers, actors, starlets, and glamour-girls in America and Europe. His photos appeared in many major magazines such as Life, Look and Playboy.The Peter Basch Collection includes iconic images of all the major midcentury stars, from Europe and America. These masterful images are a window onto a time we cannot forget, when movie stars stepped out of the studio’s control, and we began to see these larger-than-life performers as full, three-dimensional personalities. Basch’s images capture the heart and spirit of these glamorous performers. Taking pictures in natural light, out in the world, we see these stars as full human beings, not the carefully made-up, studio-approved icons of oldfashioned Hollywood. Basch was able to capture the moments of a human being’s spirit, their mercurial reactions, all the facets that made these magnetic individuals the stars they were. Basch authored and co-authored a number of books containing his photographs including: Candid Photography (1958 with Peter Gowland Basch and Don Ornitz Basch) Peter Basch's Glamour Photography (A Fawcett How-To Book) (1958) Peter Basch photographs beauties of the world (1958) Camera in Rome (1963 with Nathan and Simon Basch) Peter Basch Photographs 100 Famous Beauties (1965) The nude as form & figure (1966) Put a Girl in Your Pocket: The Artful Camera of Peter Basch (1969) Peter Basch's Guide to Figure Photography (1975 with Jack Rey)
Thoughts on Peter Basch by his daughter
: "My Father, Peter Basch, saw. He looked and he saw. He taught me to see. He taught me to listen and hear. We used to play a game when I was little. He’d say, Michele, look at the street then look at me, what did you see? I would list the cars, red, black, navy; people, fat, tall, thin; children, parents; trees and plants. He would add the detail. A blue car with New York plates, a black car with New Jersey plates. The people were not just tall or small, thin or fat, they wore coats or sweaters, they laughed or were sad. The trees had leaves, were close together, the green was dark, vivid, the sun playing with the shadow.
My Father saw. He captured in his mind and on film the unexpected moment in time, the interaction between two people, the look, the thought, the breath that punctuated the decision.
My Father was one of the great romantics. He had a true love and appreciation of beauty in its purest form. We would talk about BEAUTY and her differences: natural, Hollywood, young, old and the beauty of communication, interaction, the Beauty of the moment. He recorded the breath in time on film: two ladies in Paris reading the paper, a Dachshund looking around the corner, a chair in front of the Eiffel Tower. My Father saw the thought and seized it for posterity.
My Father understood the language light speaks to shadow. He showed me how the sun plays with dark. His favorite moment was at Sunrise when the shadows were long and soft. He saw every hue from white to black and everything in between. He understood the language, taught and published books on Light and Shadow, Form and Figure.
I traveled through Europe with my Father. I was his assistant! And proud of it! I was the camera person! Changed the film, made sure the lens was clean, stood in during special poses, helped in the dark room, retouched to refine and perfect. I loved watching him talk and listen. He listened to Jane Fonda, Ursula Andress, Brigit Bardot, Fellini, Mastroiani and so many more. He listened and recorded the answer, the thought, that moment of indecision, realization and Seduction."

RHONDA FLEMING BIO
(born
Marilyn Louis
in Hollywood, California, August 10, 1923), is an American film and television actress.
She acted in more than 40 films, mostly in the 1940s and 1950s, and became renowned as one of the most beautiful and glamorous actresses of her day. She was nicknamed the "Queen of Technicolor" because her fair complexion and flaming red hair photographed exceptionally well in Technicolor.
Fleming began working as a film actor while attending Beverly Hills High School, from which she was graduated in 1941. After appearing uncredited in a several films, she received her first substantial role in the thriller
Spellbound
(1945), produced by David O. Selznick and directed by Alfred Hitchcock. She followed this with supporting roles in another thriller,
The Spiral Staircase
(1946), directed by Robert Siodmak, the Randolph Scott western
Abilene Town
(1946), and the film noir classic
Out of the Past
(1947) with Robert Mitchum. Her first leading role came in
Adventure Island
(1947), a low-budget action film made in the two-color Cinecolor process and co-starring Rory Calhoun.
The actress then co-starred with Bing Crosby in her first Technicolor film,
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
(1949), a musical loosely based on the story by Mark Twain. Fleming exhibited her singing ability, dueting with Crosby on “Once and For Always” and soloing with “When Is Sometime.” She and Crosby recorded these songs for a 78 rpm Decca soundtrack album. She also sang on NBC's
Colgate Comedy Hour
during the same live telecast that featured Errol Flynn, on September 30, 1951, from the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.
In 1953, Fleming portrayed Cleopatra in
Serpent of the Nile
. That same year she appeared in two films shot in 3-D,
Inferno
with Robert Ryan and the musical
Those Redheads From Seattle
with Gene Barry. The following year she starred with Fernando Lamas in
Jivaro
, her third 3-D release.
Among Fleming’s subsequent cinematic credits are Fritz Lang’s
While the City Sleeps
(1956), co-starring Dana Andrews; Allan Dwan’s
Slightly Scarlet
, co-starring John Payne and Arlene Dahl; John Sturges’s
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
(1957) co-starring Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas and the Irwin Allen / Joseph M. Newman production of
The Big Circus
(1959), co-starring Victor Mature and Vincent Price. Her most recent film was
Waiting for the Wind
(1990).
During the 1950s and into the 1960s, Fleming frequently appeared on television with guest-starring roles on
The Red Skelton Show
,
The Best of Broadway
,
The Investigators
,
Shower of Stars
,
The Dick Powell Show
,
Death Valley Days
,
Wagon Train
,
Burke's Law
,
The Virginian
,
McMillan & Wife
,
Police Woman
,
Kung Fu
,
Ellery Queen
, and
The Love Boat
. On March 4, 1962, Fleming appeared in one of the last segments of ABC's
Follow the Sun
in a role opposite Gary Lockwood, who was nearly 14 years her junior. She played a Marine in the episode "Marine of the Month".
In 1958, Fleming again displayed her singing talent when she recorded her only LP, entitled simply
Rhonda
. In this album, she blended then current songs like "Around The World" with standards such as "Love Me Or Leave Me" and "I've Got You Under My Skin".
In retirement, Fleming has worked for several charities, especially in the field of cancer care, and has served on the committees of many related organizations. In 1991, she and her late husband, Ted Mann, set up the
Rhonda Fleming Mann Clinic For Women's Comprehensive Care
at the UCLA Medical Center.
Fleming has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
