EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the dynamic duo of Dorothy Arzner and Marion Morgan, taken in 1927 at the Famous Players studio in Culver City, California. Dorothy Arzner, a groundbreaking figure in the film industry, is seen here with her partner, Marion Morgan, a renowned choreographer and screenwriter. Arzner's innovative approach to filmmaking, which challenged traditional gender roles, made her the first woman to become a permanent director at a major Hollywood studio. The photograph, taken by the esteemed Arnold Genthe, showcases Arzner and Morgan in an intimate moment. Arzner, with her short bobbed hair and intense gaze, exudes confidence and determination, while Morgan, with her elegant hairstyle and engrossed expression, appears deeply engrossed in a book. The unusual composition of the image, with the two women seated side by side, hints at their close relationship and shared passion for the arts. As pioneers in their respective fields, Arzner and Morgan defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of women in the film industry and beyond. Their partnership, which was rumored to be romantic, added another layer of complexity to their already intriguing stories. This portrait serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and the impact they had on the arts during the 1920s in America. The image is part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of 20th-century American history and culture.
