Reseña: People even more than things have to be restored renewed revived reclaimed and redeemed never throw out anyone. -Audrey Hepburn In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer Bob Willoughby captured Marilyn Monroe Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject: Audrey Kathleen Ruston later Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston best known as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in 1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still but when he met the Belgian-born beauty Willoughby was enraptured. She took my hand like... well a princess and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal mens hearts he recalled. As Hepburns career soared following her Oscar-winning U.S. debut in Roman Holiday Willoughby became a trusted friend framing her working and home life. His historic perfectionist tender photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburns beauty and elegance as she progresses from her debut to her career high of My Fair Lady in 1963. Willoughbys studies showing her on set preparing for a scene interacting with actors and directors and returning to her private life comprise one of photographys great platonic love affairs and an unrivaled record of one of the 20th centurys touchstone beauties.After our limited and art editions this book is now available in our standard edition.
