Not signed or stamped. This portrait is of Kenneth Everette Betelle (1927 – 2013), aka Mr. Kenneth the first celebrity hairdresser in New York City. He styled Jaqueline Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and many others. After working for Helena Rubenstein and Lilly Dache, he formed his own studio, Kenneth, in 1963 on East 54th Street.
