Photographer of Hollywood's Golden Age Gets First, Posthumous Exhibit

Tomorrow afternoon at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s Blossom Room, Canadian documentary filmmaker Barry Avrich will tell the story of the late Jack Pashkovsky, a man who photographed stars like Clark Gable and Marlene Dietrich in their prime, and then quietly kept the resulting treasure trove to himself. It was only in 2000, a year before Pashkovsky’s death at age 89, that Avrich discovered the photos while working on an unrelated film project.
