Bruno Bernard, a photographer known as Bruno of Hollywood, died of cancer Wednesday (June 5th, 1987) in Los Angeles. He was 75 years old.

Mr. Bernard, who photographed such stars as Clark Gable, Tyrone Power and Elizabeth Taylor, was credited with introducing Marilyn Monroe to Jimmy Hyde, the agent who got her a contract with 20th Century-Fox.

Remember Bernie, you started it all, the actress wrote in one of Mr. Bernard's 10 books on photography. One of his best-known pictures was of Miss Monroe in a windblown skirt. He was honored for his work last year by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Mr. Bernard is survived by a daughter, Susan, and a grandson, Joshua Miller.

A Personal Note from Robin

Susan Bernard (Bruno's daughter) has written a wonderful book, Bernard of Hollywood: The Ultimate Pin-Up Book published by Taschen

From Amazon.com
Bruno Bernard has been called the "Rembrandt of photography" and the "king of glamour". Though he also photographed male luminaries such as John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Elvis Presley, Bernard of Hollywood made his name doing portraits of female stars and starlets of the 1950s such as Anita Ekberg, Jayne Mansfield, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe. He fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s, migrating to California and eventually establishing himself in Hollywood. By the 1940s, he was one of the most sought-after photographers there, with countless celebrities and hopefuls visiting his Sunset Boulevard studio to have their portraits taken. Bernard is remembered as the man who immortalized some of the century’s greatest stars and mastered the art of pin-up photography better than any one else. This book is a testament to his long and illustrious career.
