Horowitz at one of George Cukor's (with spectacles) Hollywood parties, c. 1950. Kenneth Leedom, Horowitz's lover at the time, is standing behind the pianist with his hand on Horowitz's shoulder.
I am wondering where you got this photo. My father is in the swimming trunks in the back left. I am hoping to find other photos of my father during his USC years.
What a picture ..and to add according to Glenn Plaskin's bio of Horowitz Kenneth Leedom was hired to help and eventually replace Carl Erpf a former lawyer in the securities market to be the secretary/valet for Horowitz during the years he was separated from Wanda from 48' into the early 50's.

I found the picture on the Internet some years ago. I don't remember the site.
