Description
Born in Butler, Pennsylvania and raised in Youngstown, Ohio, Doug Dobransky was drafted out of high school and into the Army at the age of 19. An expert marksman, he placed at the top of his training class at Fort Polk, Louisiana before being deployed to Vietnam in January 1967. He served his year, partly as an infantryman in the 199th brigade and the remainder as a writer of casualty reports. He returned home in 1968 and moved to southern California, where he has lived since. Doug has been working as a Hollywood photographer for the last thirty years, and his impressive list of clients includes Marlon Brando, Muhammad Ali, Mickey Rourke, David Hasselhoff, Brad Pitt, Ted Danson, and countless other celebrities. He is also the author of Autumn Sister, a very personal, intimate, and touching journal of his experience with his sister's battle with cancer.
