It was taken by a photographer named Slim Aaron, who passed away yesterday. According to his obituary, he wasn't a typical paparazzi. His modus operandi was to get invited to a swanky party and mingle. If the opportunity arose, he would take a quick photo, put away the camera and go back to enjoying the party.
Who knows how many parties he attended where no one famous showed up or where he couldn't snap a photo because it would kill the mood. But on New Year's Eve in 1957, he managed to get an invitation to a party at an LA restaurant and hit the jackpot. From left to right, Clark Gable, Van Heflen, Gary Cooper and Jimmy Stewart.

I couldn't figure out what "jarrah" meant, so I looked it up. It's an Australian wood that, when treated, looks like Honduras mahogany.
But that isn't what I think you meant. Jensen Jarrah is a brand name for cool outdoor furniture, sold in the U.S., and of course, Australia.
From the Jensen Jarrah website:
"Jarrah trees grow only in the south-west of Australia, so only a small, discerning number of people can own Jensen Jarrah furniture."
Oooo! Touch you, Caroline!
Ya learn sumthin' new everyday.
On another note: Cool pic, Anthony! Mr. Aaron certainly had a unique way of capturing candid moments.
Please proofread your posts carefully to see if you any words out.

Mark.
Yep. Jensen Jarrah. Yep. cost a small fortune. Also is totally comfortable to sit on without cushions due to the superior design.
And before we could afford that, we had a plastic setting from Target.

I love the picture, Anthony. Mmmm. They do look decorative, don't they?
