One chapter discusses and illustrates the 'Changing Venus' from Lillie Langtry to Audrey Hepburn; others reveal the joys and problems of photographing Grace Kelly and Sir Winston Churchill; and one of the most delightful sections of all reproduces Beaton's designs for the ballet and the theatre, culminating in the costumes which have contributed so much to the success of My Fair Lady."
