NBC commission: comedians in mid-air
NBC commissions him to photograph popular comedians of the day — Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, Groucho Marx and Bob Hope. Photographing their acts, he captures many of them jumping in mid-air, which inspires many later jump pictures of celebrities, from the Ford family and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to Marilyn Monroe, María Félix and Richard Nixon.
