Timeline

1898

Lee Garmes, A.S.C. (May 27, 1898 – August 31, 1978) was an American cinematographer.

During his career, he worked with directors Howard Hawks, Max Ophüls, Josef von Sternberg, Alfred Hitchcock, King Vidor, Nicholas Ray and Henry Hathaway, whom he had met as a young man when the two first came to Hollywood in the silent era.

He also co-directed two films with legendary screenwriter Ben Hecht: Angels Over Broadway and Actor's and Sin.

1916

Born in Peoria, Illinois, Garmes came to Hollywood in 1916.

His first job was as an assistant in the paint department at Thomas H. Ince Studios, but he soon became a camera assistant before graduating to full-time cameraman.

His earliest films were comedy shorts, and his career did not fully take off until the introduction of sound films.

1933

Garmes was married to film actress Ruth Hall from 1933 until his death in 1978.

He is interred in the Grand View Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.

1972

Garmes was one of the early proponents of video technology, which he advocated as early as 1972.

That year, he had been hired by Technicolor to photograph the short film Why, which was intended to test whether video was a viable technology for shooting feature films.

According to American Cinematographer magazine, "Although officially unaccredited, Lee Garmes photographed a considerable portion of Gone with the Wind. Many consider the famous railroad yard sequence among his finest cinematic efforts."

1980

Garmes was one of many Hollywood veterans from the silent era interviewed by Kevin Brownlow for the television series Hollywood (1980).
