James Wong Howe on Kim Novak
James Wong Howe a cinematic genius with the camera deemed Ms. Novak one of the 5 greatest beauties he ever photographed in a great legendary career. Does anyone know who the other 4 beauties Wong Howe described?
shareMyrna Loy, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, Patricia Neal, Lauren Becall, Natalie Wood, Cappucine, Barbra Streisand, Yvonne DeCarlo and Greta Garbo are just a few of the leading ladies he worked with. There's a quote on his page about Garbo transforming when the cameras started rolling, so maybe she's one of the five. They're all beautiful, but I think Kim Novak and Natalie Wood are in a league of their
own. One thing's for sure, Howe was a tremendous cinematographer. When you see his name on the credits, you know you'll see a quality film.
