A bit of a mystery

Hollywood, around 1944. This slightly old-fashioned but very romantic portrait with its soft focus is a bit of a mystery. It’s by Max Munn Autrey, a portrait photographer for the Witzel Photography Studio in Downtown LA at the time. So it’s not a product of the MGM publicity machine. So what could be the story behind it? Perhaps it was commissioned by Cedric Gibbons, to whom Hazel Brooks got married in 1944.
