    Hardcover (in Slipcase). Condition: Very Good. First Edition. In his distinguished career as Hollywood photographer, Bob Willoughby has taken some of the benchmark photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Fonda but he's unequivocal about who was his favorite subject: Edda van Heemstra Helpburn-Ruston, also know as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot a new starlet one morning in '53. It was a humdrum commission for the regular studio portraitist now credited with having virtually invented the photojournalistic motion picture still, but when he met the Belgian beauty, Willoughby was enraptured. "She took my hand like.well a princess, and dazzled me with that smile that God designed to melt mortal men's hearts, " he recalls. As Hepburn's career soared upwards following her US debut in Roman Holiday, Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender photographs seek out the man facets to Hepburn's beauty and elegance as she progresses from her debut to the career high of My Fair Lady in '63. Willoughby's studies, showing her on set, preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors and returning to her private self, comprise one of photography's great platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of last century's touchstone beauties.

    Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris 2002. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf Broché cousu. Format in-4° ( 31 x 24,2 cm )( 1265 gr ). -------- 216 pages. ************************ "" Son oeil pour les reportages en coulisse et sa façon très personnelle d'aborder ses sujets firent de Bob Willoughby un des plus grands photographes de la presse magazine aux Etats-Unis. Originaire de Los Angeles, il débuta naturellement dans le métier par, des sujets centrés autour du monde du cinéma. Un de ses premiers reportages l'amena à rencontrer une jeune actrice nommée Audrey Hepburn, la star montante révélée en 1953 par le film de William Wyler, Vacances romaines. Cette collection d'hommages intimes témoigne de l'amitié qui s'est par la suite développée entre lui et cette femme qui le fascinait tant Les carrières de Bob Willoughby et d'Audrey Hepburn prirent leur envol en même temps, et l'objectif du premier suivit l'ascension de la seconde jusqu'au statut d'icône hollywoodienne, à travers les tournages de films tels que Vertes demeures, La Rumeur, Deux têtes folles et My Fair Lady. Bob immortalisa aussi des moments plus intimes entre Audrey, son mari Mel Ferrer et leur fils Sean. Comme seule une anthologie personnelle telle que celle-ci pouvait le faire, les photos de Bob Willoughby parviennent à capturer la sincérité et la joie de vivre d'Audrey au naturel, et ajoutent une nouvelle dimension à cette actrice dont le charisme à l'écran avait le pouvoir d'émouvoir des millions de spectateurs.
