Andy Warhol pushes Mary Tyler Moore to get the old MTM Show gang back together.
This is from a great Interview cover story by Andy Warhol in Interview, February 1981 interviewmagazine.com/culture/remembβ¦
How can you not love an interview where Mary Tyler Moore says this:
"I went to a place called Maxβs Kansas City the other night. They have wonderful french fries that actually have the hint of a taste of potato in them."
Carl Reiner as eccentric artist Serge Carpetna, a hilarious one-off character, with Mary Tyler Moore in the great Dick Van Dyke episode "October Eve", March 3, 1964. I've always *really* wanted to see that painting.

Happy birthday to Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk π
π· Ara GΓΌler
"His books are multi-layered, allegorical, sometimes fanciful, Proustian in their attention to detail and Borgesian in their dazzling complexity."
- Sarah Lyall
Orhan Pamuk by Sophie Bassouls, 1990
"Books, which we mistake for consolation, only add depth to our sorrow."
It's so great that other photographers have continued Philippe Halsman's #jump! tradition. Here's Orhan Pamuk by Alex Majoli.
This was taken at Cannes in 2007, when Pamuk was a member of the Festival Jury.
Celebrate the Richard Avedon Centennial ππ―
π· Irving Penn, Vogue, August 23, 1993
"He was small, dark & electric with his own sort of vitality. Crackling. Sparks seem to fly out of him. He flashes his fingers like tiny rapid moths."
- Ginette Spanier

Celebrate the Red Garland Centennial ππ―
π· Bill Spilka, c. 1957
"Garland's style was understated and harmonically sophisticated; he would delineate a melody, then shade it with distinctively voiced block chords and hints of counterpoint."
- Jon Pareles #RedGarland100
Esmond Edwards' great album cover for Red Garland's "Red in Bluesville", from 1959. Edwards took the photo, & designed the album as well.
