It was only in the last years of his life that Worth admitted to what friends had suspected and what correspondence found among his belongings seems to bear out: that he had had an affair with Monroe.   The romance apparently fizzled after Monroe left for England to shoot 1957's The Prince and the Showgirl and Worth stayed behind in L.A. because he landed a magazine contract. Although short, stocky and not exactly leading-man-handsome, the flirtatious Worth was described as "catnip to women" by Van Doren and was linked to Mansfield and Monroe as well.

Worth's days as a Hollywood shutterbug came to an end soon after his cherished Brooklyn Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958; Sinatra introduced Worth to Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley and he became the team's official photographer. A baseball fanatic, he stuck mainly to sports photography in the ensuing years, even selling tickets at Dodger Stadium to supplement his income as he lived out his later years. Worth's ambition in life may not have been to be a photographer, but he leaves behind a legacy that most photographers could only aspire to.
