Shots of Hollywood greats in the frame for the first time

Photographs of Hollywood stars found in a dusty old filing cabinet are to be exhibited for the first time.

Thousands of images, including pictures of Audrey Hepburn and Dirk Bogarde taken by photographer George Douglas, were discovered at his Brighton home by neighbour and fellow photographer Roger Bamber, who inherited the property following his friend’s death.

The negatives, which had not seen the light of day for years, include images from the 1940s to the 1960s of Gary Cooper, former US president Harry Truman, Roger Moore and Peter Sellers.
