This is the first comprehensive, large-format monograph of Bob
Willoughby's photographs of film and television stars from the
1950s to the 1970s. Considered the first on-set still photographer
in the film industry, Bob Willoughby photographed numerous movie
stars of the era, including Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Jean
Seberg, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant,
Doris Day, James Dean, and many more. These stars continue to
influence fashion and culture, from Baby Boomers all the way to Gen
Z. The iconic celebrities and others featured have lasting
presence, still gaining fans today via both social media and the
availability of classic films through streaming channels. This
compendium features vintage and never-before-seen photographs of
the most beloved stars of film and television. Willoughby's images
include many taken during the filming of classics such as THE
GRADUATE, MY FAIR LADY, ROSEMARY'S BABY, and others. In addition to
on-set photography, there are also many candid portraits of actors
at home, such as those of Audrey Hepburn. This compendium includes
both black-and-white and color photographs of some of the greatest
icons from this Golden Age of Hollywood.
Medical science in antebellum America was organized around a
paradox: it presumed African Americans to be less than human yet
still human enough to be viable as experimental subjects, as
cadavers, and for use in the training of medical students. By
taking a hard look at the racial ideas of both northern and
southern medical schools, Christopher D. E. Willoughby reveals that
racist ideas were not external to the medical profession but
fundamental to medical knowledge. In this history of racial
thinking and slavery in American medical schools, the founders and
early faculty of these schools emerge as singularly influential
proponents of white supremacist racial science. They pushed an
understanding of race influenced by the theory of polygenesis-that
each race was created separately and as different species-which
they supported by training students to collect and measure human
skulls from around the world. Medical students came to see
themselves as masters of Black people's bodies through stealing
Black people's corpses, experimenting on enslaved people, and
practicing distinctive therapeutics on Black patients. In
documenting these practices Masters of Health charts the rise of
racist theories in U.S. medical schools, throwing new light on the
extensive legacies of slavery in modern medicine.
