About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Jones, a photographer for London's Evening Standard , here presents his black-and-white pictures, arranged alphabetically from Astaire to Zeffirelli, though inexplicably leaving out dates when the shots were taken. Guinness opens the volume rightly praising Jones's ability to capture the "lived-in" look of familiar individuals; indeed, Jones does not glamorize his subjects, recording instead candid expressions and the lines of age and experience on their faces. Owen's anecdotal captions, too, shed light on a moody Peter Sellers; a "tranquil, going on saintly" John Cleese; Mia Farrow during her months with the Royal Shakespeare Company; and former Kirov ballerina Natalia Makarova. This collection will be appreciated for its journalistic style and for bringing usually larger-than-life stage, screen and arts-related personalities to an accessible, human level.
