Lori Nelson 1955 Vintage 8x10 GSP "On Location" Yacht Pin-Up Art Weissman

Subject: Actress Lori Nelson (1933–2020)
Photographer: Art Weissman
Date of Image: 1955
Format: Vintage 8x10 Gelatin Silver Print (GSP)
Subject Matter: A stunning, candid "on location" pin-up shot of Lori Nelson posing on the deck of a yacht. Nelson is captured in a stylish 1950s halter top and shorts ensemble, accented by a wide belt and lace-up espadrilles.

Provenance/Background: This original press photograph was taken by Art Weissman, a renowned freelance fanzine and celebrity photographer who, along with his brother Len Weissman, documented the Golden Age of Hollywood. The verso features the "ART WEISSMAN PHOTO" ink stamp, the handwritten date "1955", and the notation "on location". This likely stems from a publicity shoot during the production of one of her 1955 films, such as the Universal sci-fi classic Revenge of the Creature or the film-noir I Died a Thousand Times.
