Janet Leigh & Ralph Edwards 1955 Vintage 8x10 GSP "This Is Your Life" Art Weissman

Subject: Janet Leigh (1927–2004) and Ralph Edwards (1913–2005) Photographer: Art Weissman Date of Image: 1955 Format: Vintage 8x10 Gelatin Silver Print (GSP) Subject Matter: A fascinating candid "behind-the-scenes" shot of legendary actress Janet Leigh and television pioneer Ralph Edwards. Leigh, famously known for her role in Psycho, is seen wearing a stylish 1950s beaded hat and a protective cape, suggesting she is in a makeup chair or preparing for a broadcast.

Provenance/Background: This authentic press photograph was captured by Art Weissman, a prolific freelance photographer who documented major Hollywood events and television productions during the 1940s and 50s. The verso contains the "ART WEISSMAN - PHOTO" ink stamp, the handwritten names "Ralph Edwards + Janet Leigh", and the date "1955". Given the subjects and date, this likely documents Leigh's appearance on Edwards' hit show This Is Your Life, which frequently featured surprises for major stars of the era.
