Happy birthday Al Pacino πŸŽ‚
πŸ“· Irving Penn, 1995
β€œWith rare, sweet stealth, he has insinuated himself as one of our great actors. He is so much more accessible and beguiling than De Niro or Hoffman.”
- David Thomson

β€œIf you want to talk about acting, look again at that early scene when Michael tells her about the way in which Johnny Fontane got his freedom from the bandleader who had him under contract.”

Lee Strasberg & Al Pacino in 2, 1974
Two performances for the ages. But Pacino lost out to Art Carney for Best Actor, & Strasberg missed Best Supporting Actor closer to home: Robert De Niro.
The still photographer on set was Bruce McBroom, but Steve Schapiro was around as well.

Al Pacino, Martin Scorsese & Director of Photography Rodrigo Prieto have a conference on the set of The Irishman. Prieto received a Best Cinematography #Oscar nomination for his work on this film.
