The first four images are studio portraits by Eugene Robert Richee (21 August 1896, Denver - 25 April 1972, Orange County).  One of classic Hollywood's great portrait photographers, he is best remembered for work produced during his years at Paramount Studios, where he produced many now iconic images of legendary actors like Dietrich, Louise Brooks, and Gary Cooper.

(The remaining three images are from screen captures.)
