life: Over a career spanning half a century, Sam Shaw photographed all kinds of people: sharecroppers, soldiers, jazz cats, cops… But of all the jaw-dropping, varied work from his portfolio, it’s his photos of Hollywood legends — many of them taken for LIFE — that are his most famous. Though Shaw most enjoyed (and excelled at) photographing women, there were men — Brando and Quinn, specifically — who were electric through his lens. “With Marlon I never knew what was going to happen,” he told Sam Shaw author Karnath. “There was a magic to this man. He was always going counter to what you might expect and was never straight on.” Pictured: The Viva Zapata! costars play pool during a break in filming.  see more — Sam Shaw: A Personal Point of View
