Tonight on BBC2 in the UK, at 8pm, Michael Sheen appears in ‘Shooting The Hollywood Stars’ about leading UK fashion photographer, Rankin, reveals the rich history of Hollywood photography and how its most influential and enduring images were created. From Hollywood’s golden age, epitomised by gorgeous images of screen goddesses Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich to brooding shots of Marlon Brando; from the unparalleled allure of pictures of Marilyn Monroe to iconic black and white stills of Charlie Chaplin, Rankin immerses himself in the art of the Hollywood portrait and explores the vital role it has played in both the movie business and our continuing love affair with movie stars.
