I love photographing famous people. I think that there is something different about them, they are a cut above ordinary people. They have worked and lived side by side with other famous people, maybe that is why they feel so different to me. They are the demigods of our time, I believe.
A great actor or actress have worked together, talked and maybe even made love to other great actors.
When I met Carrol Baker, when we chatted and ate together, to me it was like chatting and eating with the Golden Age of Hollywood, with James Dean, Paul Newman… I was so taken with her that the crew of the movie she was starring in was growing worried, even though she was over 60 years old.
