- Description:
- Behind-the scenes image from a TV shoot, in the center of the frame is a CBS camera with an operator behind is, and two jauntily angled banks of tube lights above. In front of the camera, in the lower left of the frame are two light skinned actors (Jean Pearson and Richard Hart) embracing. Pearson's head is against Hart's chest; she has curling hair to her shoulders, long, thin eyebrows, and a vacant expression. Hart is more shadowed, he's looking up and to his right, apparently mid-word.
- Notes:
- This image was part of a Life magazine photo essay about Pearson.
