Lorraine Cugat. Music hall dancer, ex wife of the “Rhumba King”, Latin-American music band leader Xavier Cugat. Cannes 1952. Contact prints. Photos from original negatives available.
A 1952 contact sheet presents twelve studies of Lorraine Cugat, a music hall dancer and former wife of bandleader Xavier Cugat. Photographed in Cannes, the series primarily captures Cugat during a beach photoshoot in a swimsuit and striped shirt. The set contrasts with two glamorous indoor portraits where she wears a lace shawl and pearls. A red grease pencil mark on one of the beach images indicates it was a selected shot. The subject’s name, "Lorraine Cugat," is handwritten in cursive at the top of the page.
