Alfred Hitchcock by Philippe Halsman, 1962
"With his uniform of dark suits, his Victorian manner, he was a relic in his own time. Only Mickey Mouse cut a more distinctive profile."

When I posted Steve Pyke's photos of Sam Fuller today, I realized I've never done of thread of Pyke's portraits. These shots, from Edinburgh in 1983, were the first Pyke took with a close-up lens on his Rolleiflex camera. This became his trademark portrait style.

Remembering William Goldman on his birthday 🎂
📷 Terry O'Neill, c. 1990
"Screenplay writing is not an art form. It’s a skill; it’s carpentry; it’s structure."
William Goldman by Peter Jones (but Getty also says it's by Alex Gotfryd; nobody knows anything.)
"You realize you’re not going to be Chekhov, you’re not going to be Cervantes, you’re not going to be Irwin Shaw, who is the crucial figure for me. And so you go into your pit alone, hoping, trying to fake yourself out that this time you will be wonderful."

These shots are from a Life magazine feature that took us through a day in a director's life. Life photographers weren't afraid to use film; I chose these from 150 photos.
