In pictures: Yul Brynner's celebrity photographs

[dipsydoodle]

An exhibition of actor Yul Brynner's photography is due to open in London's Little Black Gallery. The star always carried a Leica camera around his neck - and can be seen on the top left taking a self-portrait while starring in a stage production of The King And I in London. Other subjects included Dean Martin, pictured at Frank Sinatra's house (right) and Joan Collins.

1. Great photos...Joan Collins looks a lot like Vivien Leigh in that photo...

Or even Susan Hayward

2. Susan Hayward !

Do you know - you're the only person on the entire planet whose ever mentioned that name to me. I remember seeing her in David and Bathsheba when I was about 8 years old and wondering if she'd suit me better than Doris day.

In those still shots of Yul Brinner's it was the one of Dean Martin in that Art Deco bar which struck me the most.

3. Really? And she wasa big star in her time!

I also like the one of Frank getting out of the helicopter...drink in hand!
