"A celebrated photojournalist for 40 years, Ellen Graham has worked with magazines and newspapers across America, photographing some of the world's most talked-about people: actors, artists, performers, socialites, glitterati. In images that strike a balance between the glamour of a formal Hollywood photo shoot and the intrigue of a tabloid expose, Graham has captured rare and unguarded moments in the lives of such legendary figures as Sophia Loren, Groucho Marx, Barbra Streisand, and David Bowie. Whether shooting actors, European royalty, or even prostitutes in Paris, she redefines the resonating myths that have come to surround these figures. Offering a fresh and sophisticated look at our favorite stars as well as a trip down memory lane, Graham's compelling photographs will attract all those who are fascinated by celebrity and pop culture." - Publisher..
