Bill


Bill Miller posed for Lynes in a rather statuesque manner for this 1946 picture.

  1. Thanks, Jerry. So good to see another photo of the beautiful Bill Miller. (You published a great Lynes photo of him back in 2019). Film star looks, great body, thick bush and long, hairy legs. I'm smitten!

    Christian William 'Bill' Miller was described as one of the most beautiful men in the gay scene of 1940s New York and had an interesting life. He was an artist and model, served in the Navy during the war, and also worked as a stage, store and product designer, including designing a plastic inflatable boat whilst in the navy, and a plastic inflatable chair which is featured in museums!

  2. I've seen women use this pose in nude work,but I don't remember seeing a man use it until now. It certainly implies Mr Miller is rather tall. Thanks for the bio, Peter. That type of information always seems to bring these photos to life.

    1. Yes, that pose is usually associated with female models, but Lynes and Miller make it work here.
