As soon as I had dropped off my bags at the hotel I raced off to keep an appointment at Getty in North West London. The appointment was with the Vice President, Matt who gave me a tour of the facility that contains over 80 million images in the form of negatives, prints and transparencies. He also allowed me access into the "strong room" containing many original photographic treasures from artists such as Ansel Adams, Man Ray and Brassai.
Matt showed me signed model release forms by people such as Marilyn Monroe, Henry Fonda, Clark Gable and Errol Flynn. A stand out example was Greta Garbo consenting to let MGM transfer her rights in 1955. What an afternoon!
