Rest In Peace Robert Lebeck

One of Jayne Mansfield's most prominent photographers Robert Lebeck has sadly passed away at the age of 85. German photog Lebeck's most famous photo of Jayne was taken at the 1961 Berlin Film festival and shows a tux clad Mickey Hargitay lifting his wife Jayne up towards to ceiling to eat grapes from above. Lebeck photographed Jayne a few times while she was in Germany. In a more recent documentary Lebeck recounts the time he photographed her at a local watering hole. We are sad to hear of Lebeck's passing. Here are two of our favourite Lebeck photos.
