HOLLYWOOD CONFERENCE

Connell summoned four well-known Hollywood personalities to co-author "Hollywood Conference." These writers, led by Nunnally Johnson, included Patterson McNutt, Gene Fowler Jr., and Grover Jones. Ironically, they placed their own names into the script as the characters of this one act play. Will Connell's intention was to have readers of "In Pictures" interpret his carefully sequenced photographs (in order) along with juxtaposed block-lettered captions and pages of script. By joining text with pictures, Connell created a multi-layered expression, teeming with, insider dialogue, visual puns and satirical imagery.
