In 1949, Martha Holmes photographed Jackson Pollock for Life magazine, and 50 years later the photo was turned into a 33-cent postage stamp (with the cigarette mysteriously absent from the artist's lips). Holmes, who shot candids of actors and other celebrities and was one of the first female photographers at Life, died September 19 in New York City. She was 83. (LA Times)
