Frank became a member of the Hollywood Photographers Guild and soon found himself as a staff photographer for a number of Movie magazines. In Hollywood, Frank began building his reputation as photographer to the movie stars and developed ties with many legendary Hollywood figures as James Dean, The Marx Brother, Errol Flynn, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and other such luminaries. He etched out a living as a freelance photographer in Hollywood during the nostalgic 1940s and '50s. At this time most photographers were tightly controlled by a powerful studio system, however, as friend and fan to the stars Frank Worth escaped these restrictions and captured images that these studios would never normally have allowed.

After his untimely death in 2000, Frank Worth's family discovered a virtual treasure trove of never before seen photos that he had taken. In as many as 10,000 black and white and color photos that were never before published, Frank Worth had captured through his camera lens a personal and distinctive history of the last golden era of Sports and Hollywood. The "undiscovered" Frank Worth collection was so astonishing that his family felt that even after his death Frank should still be recognized for his remarkable works. These unique and noteworthy photos will serve as a final tribute to his photographic legacy. Posthumously, Frank Worth will live on through his undiscovered works to become, as many of the figures he photographed, an iconic status in our cultural conscious.
