This 1949 photo released by Herman Leonard Photography, shows Billie Holiday cooking a steak for her dog Mister in her apartment in the Harlem neighborhood of New York. The photographer, Herman Leonard, said she came to the door wearing a simple house dress and an apron and “First I thought, this is the maid.” But it was Holiday, one of the greatest voices of modern time, whom Leonard would continue to photograph throughout her life.
