Betsy Campbell Manning was 9 years old when she posed with two friends for a photo in 1957 in Stockbridge. The photo was used by Rockwell for his work “Missing Tooth.”
“At the time, I had no idea what was going on,” says Manning, now 61. Her father is also immortalized in another Rockwell classic—he’s the doctor in “Before the Shot,” which hangs in waiting rooms across the country.
“The iconic Rockwell look was made possible by his family, his neighbors and others surrounding him. Rockwell lived in this town, and it was his stage,” says Jeremy Clowe, director of media services for the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge.
How Rockwell captured those images is the focus of a new exhibit at the museum, “Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera,” which runs through May 31. It features the staged photos Rockwell commissioned to create his original illustrations, and some of the illustrations themselves. A companion book by Ron Schick explores how Rockwell used photography as a tool throughout his career.
