I have always felt grateful to Norma Shearer for wanting Bob for her pictures, that was certainly a big boost to his early career. It always helps to have the boss's wife on your side.
The picture below, besides being a good photo of the young 'Beautiful Bob,' is one of those that would have been just great in color ... the deep tan highlighting those blue, blue eyes. Rrrff!
And to have all the photos taken by Hurrell for Riptide in the 11x14 format ... an entire wall full of Bob, Norma and Herbert Marshall ... that would be just fantastic. [I've always liked Herbert, and his presence does not distract one's attention from Bob!] I'm not sure I could talk my husband into wall-to-wall Bob ...that's not any more likely than being able to afford all those photos! Postcards are more my speed ... sigh.

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this site? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform.
I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Also visit my weblog - Google
Anon - This blog uses Blogger.com, which is run by Google now. I also have a basic template with some minor changes in the CSS for the header. It's an old template, but it seems to work, plus it is responsive for mobile phones. Hope that helps!
