Pin-up Greta Thysegen. Cannes 1951. “Miss Copenhagen”. (also Thyssen , Thygesen, Thyssegen). Contact prints. Photos from original negatives available.
A contact sheet from 1951 documents the activities of Danish actress and pin-up Greta Thyssen, then known as "Miss Copenhagen," at the Cannes Film Festival. The twelve images show Thyssen in a variety of settings: at an indoor reception with actors Henry Vidal and Henry Vernet, in conversation with director Jacques Becker, and walking along a sunny pier. The series of posed and candid moments is accompanied by a handwritten note, "How a starlet is worked," suggesting a chronicle of the demanding public life of an emerging actress.
