Seated with his right elbow resting on his knee and facing the camera head-on, the man in this half-length portrait has the relaxed, conversational posture that suited his career. Garry Moore, born Thomas Garrison Morfit in Baltimore in 1915, became one of the most familiar faces on American television in the 1950s. He hosted the panel show *I've Got a Secret* and later his own variety program, both on CBS. The catalog date of 195- places the picture in that decade, when the new medium was turning hosts into household names and studio portraits like this one were used for publicity.
