CELEBRITY

Spanning fifty years in the career of celebrity photographer Terry O'Neill, this dramatic collection showcases two hundred of his finest portrait images, including those of Clint Eastwood, Brigitte Bardot, Tina Turner, Mel Gibson, Harrison Ford, Peter O'Toole, David Bowie, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, and Robert DeNiro. In this book we find Tom Cruise, Brigitte Bardot, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Joan Collins, Michael Caine, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery and others who have superseded the fads of reputation and proven their celebrity longevity. The range of Terry O'Neill's celebrity portraits reaches from Audrey Hepburn to Naomi Campbell, from Frank Sinatra to Kate Moss, in a celebration of true celebrity. A.A. Gill's witty and insightful introduction to the book analyzes what it is that allows these people to transcend their contemparies in the pantheon of the renowned; what makes some of them true celebrities, whilst others are merely and briefly famous.
