Remembering Sergio Leone on his birthday 🎂
With James Coburn on the set of Duck, You Sucker!, in a dramatic photograph by Gianni Ferrari, 1971
"Those who cherish CinemaScope will always luxuriate in Leone’s inscrutable spaces."
- David Thomson

Happy birthday Stephen Stills 🎂
📷 Graham Nash, 1969
Nash took this photo in a motel during the recording of Déjà Vu. He mentioned they still needed an opener for the album, & the next day Stills said 'Hey Willy, listen to this!', & played him "Carry On".

Looks like that giraffe has been through some hard times.

Remembering George Martin on his birthday 🎂
📷 Richard Faulks, 1997
"I thought, O.K., we’re all taking photographs of an existing event. But we don’t have to make a photograph; we can paint. And that prompted me to experiment."
George Martin by David Magnus, 1965
"While they were having their tea break, I put down a baroque piano solo which John didn't hear until he came back. What I wanted was too intricate for me to do live, so I did it at half speed, then sped it up."
John Lennon & George Martin listen to playback, in this photo by Frank Hermann from 1967. Sophisticated recording equipment!
Some day I should put together a #playback thread; I love the staring-into-space looks of the musicians, producers & engineers.
Remembering Ray Milland on his birthday 🎂
📷 Martha Holmes, 1946
“In Lost Weekend Milland suddenly revealed himself as an actor capable of showing all the flaws in attractiveness.”
- David Thomson
