In his third volume of celebrity photographs, the film star, now also a professional photographer, once again pairs photos of each subject with comments by a well-known acquaintance. "A grand old shoe," says Alice Faye of Don Ameche, and Lauren Bacall finds Alistairsp correct Cooke "awe-inspiring." Similar kudos come from Stanley Kramer on Maximilian Schell ("unbelievable"), Ronald Reagan on Bob Hope (a "master showman") and Anne Bancroft on Patricia Neal ("a true gentlewoman"), to name a few. McDowall uses a variety of techniques--extreme close-up, highlighting, distortion, oversize settings--to characterize his 102 subjects, most often shown with the severely candid, unglamorous miens of ordinary people. Fans of the two earlier volumes will not be disappointed.
