6/18/2023 0 Comments Diane webber nudostI have several years of successful experience selling these fine original vintage nudist photographs on eBay. Diane has blonde hair in this photograph dating it to around 1955. Ed was doing a lot of these wonderful "high key" photos in the mid 50s. The print has some visible creasing and bends on the upper left and lower right best seen in picture #3. You would think that the word should be "flip" but 'flop' is the correct printer's term. "Flop" was the direction to horizontally reverse the direction of the photograph. (The ruby-lith cutting is all by hand and is a superb example of the layout artist's craftsmanship.) This photo has inventory/page numbers and the direction "Flop" written on it. The wax pencil writing can be removed by image restoration specialists, but I like the historic quality of this whole thing as an artifact and work of art in its own right. This is a very good production print for one of Ed Lange's early magazines, with a ruby-lith overlay for the magazine layout artists and red wax pencil instructions. The magnetism between the model and photographer is apparent in every print.Photo size: 8 x 10 inches. Ed photographed Diane Webber like no one else. There have been other nudist photographers and producers but none as fresh and spontaneous as Ed Lange. Diane Webber died at age 76 from complications following surgery for cancer on August 19, 2008, in Los Angeles, California.Original Vintage Diane Webber Nude by Ed Lange with Ruby-lith overlay This is a rare, one-of-a-kind production photographic print taken by Ed Lange for his groundbreaking nudist magazines of the 1950s and 1960s. In 1975 Diane was found guilty in a postal obscenity case, but the verdict was later overturned. "The Wonderful Webbers", written by June Lange, documented the Webber's nudist lifestyle. She appeared as herself in the obscure 1962 Russ Meyer nudie-cutie short "This Is My Body." Besides acting and modeling, Webber was also a belly dancer and dancing teacher. Diane acted in a handful of films and TV shows/ She portrayed a mermaid in both the nudie-cutie feature Mermaids of Tiburon (1962) and The Mermaid (1967) episode of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1964). In addition, she also was featured on the cover photos for the music albums "Sea of Dreams" by Nelson Riddle and "Jewels of the Sea" by Les Baxter. An avowed nudist, Diane appeared on the covers of many publications that endorsed the "naturist" lifestyle. With her lovely face and exceptionally toned, shapely and voluptuous 39C-23-37 figure, hypnotically sensual presence and large natural breasts, Diane was a popular pin-up girl of the 1950s and 1960s, doing pictorials for and/or gracing the covers of such men's magazines as "Frolic," "Escapade," "Adam," "Beau," "Jem," "Tiger," "Modern Sunbathing," "Mermaid," "Monsieur," "Fling," "American Nudist," "Rogue," "Nugget," and "Esquire." Among the noted glamor photographers she posed for are Bunny Yeager, Webber was the Playmate of the Month in the May 1955 and February 1956 issues of "Playboy" magazine. She married Joe Webber in 1955 and was discovered by the same man who discovered the young Marilyn Monroe. Diane worked as a chorus girl and took formal ballet training. ![]() She was the daughter of writer/producer Arthur Guy Empey and his wife Marguerite Andrus. Buxom, gorgeous and curvaceous 5'2" brunette knockout Diane Webber was born Marguerite Diane Empey on July 29, 1932, in Los Angeles, California.
