EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, taken on the 26th of November 1955, we are transported back in time to witness the determination and resilience of actress Lynette Ray as she fights against the pounds that have accumulated since her last stage performance. Under the watchful eye of Mickey Wood at his Tough Guy Agency in Marylebone, London, Lynette engages in a rigorous workout routine to shed those extra pounds. The image exudes a sense of comic symmetry as we see Lynette's back view, showcasing her leg and arm muscles working diligently with various sports equipment. Her focused expression reflects both despair and determination as she bends down to pick up a weightlifting barbell while balancing a single pound coin on it. This photograph captures not only the physical exertion but also the emotional journey that an actor goes through for their craft. It highlights the dedication required behind-the-scenes to maintain one's physique for stage performances. John Chillingworth's expert composition emphasizes both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. The archival quality adds depth to this historical moment from 1950s England, reminding us of how far society has come in terms of body image expectations. Overall, this print titled "Fighting The Pounds" is a testament to Lynette Ray's commitment as an actress and serves as an inspiring reminder that hard work pays off even when faced with challenges such as gaining weight between performances.
