My dad did change his look a lot. He was into theater too so that probably had a little to do with it.
Oh, did he perform at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland? I visited it years ago, and the replica of Globe Theatre was quite surprising :) I saw one play there, King Lear, a version by a company from Ohio (?). The stage set was a cornfield, which I assume was meant to represent Cornwall :))
Not the best performance I've ever seen though, I vaguely remember it.
He never performed there. Probably his biggest role was the lead in South Pacific in Los Angeles along side Kim Darby. Can't remember the groups name off hand. She went on to be in several TV series and movies throughout the years including the 1969 version of True Grit.
He did a lot of crazy things in his life. Ski jumping, high dives into our backyard pool, jumping crevices while climbing a mountain.
Yes I did do a little restoration with Lightroom. It was one of the better ones I scanned but after 70 some years it had faded a little. Plus I may not have used the correct scanner settings originally.
But it is still good. Although old photos do have their own flavor on a viewer perspective, restoration and using some of todays tool for adaptation got their own spice. You let us see what is it to be like when guys from older times looks like today.
Here is the as scanned version. When I started scanning I didn't realize I had so many settings for the type of film used. Plus I didn't always know what film it was. I just try to make them pleasing to my eye using Lightroom and not too over done. :)
