Globe Photos Inc (fka GBPT)

[A Dinosaur]

I got involved When Klaus Moeller bought the shell from PTEL. Klaus's wife ran a women's clothing company called Gleeworks. The storefront was in Beverly Hills, near the Celebrity Vault. I don't know why he picked that name or, for that matter, why she did either. So far as I know, the shell never really did anything until he RMed it into Capital Art, the successor to Celebrity, Inc.

The company is trying to survive in the "iconic photograph" space. They have the rights to the Frank Worth collection of hundreds of candid photos of Hollywood stars (and some who never made it that big), most of them early in their careers. I've seen snapshots of Norma Jean, the rat pack relaxing, etc. They just ran a Groupon sale last week. They do pretty well through social media.

So, the company in it's current incarnation is legit. I can't speak for the first two companies.
