Young Hollywood is a blend of everything we expect of women today ... these young Hollywood talents represent the juggling and speed that's necessary today, but they're able to channel something that feels old-world glamorous at the same time.

This splendid new body of work by portrait photographer and stylist Claiborne Swanson Frank comes on the heels of her first Assouline book, 'American Beauty'.
