Photographs
Scope and Contents
Some photographs came clearly grouped together, though the association is no longer always apparent (some of these images may have been scanned by staff at the Mary Pickford Foundation). These prints and negatives have remained together, other than separating negatives from positive prints. Other photographs came loose or as part of larger files that were not apparently organized, and these photographs have been rearranged into thematic groupings.
There are several stills and publicity shots from Wings, as well as a wide variety of candid photographs and posed portraits of Buddy Rogers later in life. There are also numerous headshots, professional photographs taken for actors and other performers, from throughout Rogers' career, some of which were autographed by Rogers to mail out to fans. The collection also includes some autographed photographs from other celebrities, sent to Buddy and his wife Beverly. There are a very small number of photographs of Buddy with Mary Pickford.
