First up--and courtesy of our friends at European Film Star Postcards---American photographer George Hurrell 

(1904-1992) Hurrell was a major contributor to the image of glamour presented by Hollywood during the 1930s and 1940s. Always an innovator, he invented the boom light and developed several - now standard - lighting techniques. Hurrell’s signature use of precision lighting, spotlights, shadows, and hand-retouching on the negatives produced romantic portraits that became his trademark style. His influential look became known as the 'Hurrell style'.   (THE VERY HANDSOME CHARLES BOYER TO THE RIGHT IS JUST SUCH AN EXAMPLE).
