At that time, paparazzi at hi-end nightclubs and restaurants were not shunned by the stars, but welcomed. Everyone knew (and liked) Hymie. <br /><br />When my dad (Billy Wilkerson) started Ciro's in 1939, Hymie followed him. He again followed my dad in 1945 when he opened Restaurant La Rue. All three were on the Sunset Strip.<br /><br />Hymie photographed people at these restaurants and nightclubs on a nightly basis (1934-1950) so somewhere out there is a treasure chest full of his work. I'm guessing they're in some special collections at USC or UCLA. That would be my guess.zenwillie1951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-17303158325893318982009-06-24T21:59:50.054-07:002009-06-24T21:59:50.054-07:00Interviewer, is that you?Interviewer, is that you?Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-61527372030722686092009-06-24T21:42:56.617-07:002009-06-24T21:42:56.617-07:00Fink and Forge Fotos, yes, I have heard of them. ...Fink and Forge Fotos, yes, I have heard of them.
