Frank Sinatra (b. 12th December 1915)

Pictured, Sinatra after the recording session for "The Man with the Golden Arm." Photographer Bob Willoughby coaxed Frank to pose for a handful of color portraits on a park bench just outside of the recording studio, 1955. As Bob recalled years later, “He was still in a happy and relaxed mood, as the session had gone well. He posed for a few minutes, gave me a wink and then was gone.”

Johnny Carson would have turned 100 years old today. To call him the 'King of Late Night' or a 'national institution' diminishes what he really was - which for anyone who ever watched "The Tonight Show" already knows - the absolute greatest.

Pictured, Carson early in his career during his show "Carson's Cellar," 1953.

"First of all, she has flawless instincts. She is very lucky. She's a very gifted person. She was very beautiful. She could sing, she could dance, she could draw, she could paint, she could take photographs. She could act. I mean, she had so much talent. And quite good in every department. And she was an eccentric dresser. And wonderfully funny. Very much her own person."

– Woody Allen

Diane Keaton (b. January 5, 1946) has passed away.

November 17th will mark 100 years since a child named Roy Harold Scherer Jr. was born in Winnetka, Illinois. It would be talent scout Henry Willson though who would help create the movie star and name we all know today: Rock Hudson. 'Hudson,' Willson would get from an auto ad he had seen, and 'Rock' was chosen from a list of nine, which included 'Lance' and 'Dirk.' It was initially spelled 'Roc,' after the mythical bird, but the 'k' would be added later to make it sound tougher and more masculine.

Pictured, Hudson, 1959.

Our Story

When you think of some of the 20th century's most iconic images, such as

Elvis Presley reaching down to grasp the outstretched arms of his hometown Tupelo, Mississippi fans on an October afternoon in 1956;

Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and a pack of 9 other men gathered around a pool table in 1960 during the making of a film called "Ocean's 11”;

Sophia Loren, newly arrived to Hollywood, casting a downward side-glance at Jayne Mansfield's ample bosom during a 1957 party at Mike Romanoff's eponymous restaurant;

Farrah Fawcett, a fresh-faced young star, posing in a red bathing suit in front of an old Indian blanket;

you may not think mptv, but you’re seeing us. For over 25 years we’ve been helping visually tell stories with one of the world’s most exclusive collections of entertainment photography. Founded by photographer Sid Avery, whose talent was astutely described by Vanity Fair’s Michael Callahan in a 2014 piece:

"Sid shot almost every cinema giant of the mid-20th century and pulled off a feat surpassing even that: he captured them unguarded, stripping away the studio and P.R. artifice to find the people hiding underneath."

This same keen eye, lucky for posterity, also focused beyond the moment of the snapshot and saw the value in preserving and celebrating, not only his own photography, but that of his colleagues’ for future generations. It is with this vision that mptv was born. With a current roster of over 60 photographers, Sid’s son, Ron Avery, currently manages a bustling and continually expanding Archive with a lineup of talent that includes such photographers as Bob Willoughby, Mark Shaw, Bruce McBroom, Sanford Roth and Bobby Holland, to name a few.

Picture professionals everywhere – from photo editors to art buyers and every creative in between – flock to mptv, not only for our expertise, but also for our unsurpassed quality, unique content and attentive service.
