Beauties by Milton H. Greene

Catherine Deneuve in France in the 60's. It doesn't get much more beautiful than that. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of my all time favorite movies.

Right before she became a princess, Grace Kelly supposedly tried to buy the negatives from this photo session for any price. Milton said no. They never spoke again.

Milton also took the famous photo of this lovely lady in the white ballerina dress, but I like this shot the best. Her bare, fresh face and genuine smile look like a real person, not like the icon: Marilyn Monroe.

So dapper!


Elizabeth told me to watch the Young Girls of Rochefort to see Gene Kelly sing and speak in adorable french...oh, and more of Catherine Deneuve in France in the 60's.

These images are all from But That's Another Story : A Photographic Retrospective of Milton H. Greene. I love the Columbus Metropolitan Library System.

I am so glad you liked it! I am also so glad you and Kirk are going to be living the dream (though I wish it were on the east coast)!
