Bob Willoughby, who created iconic portraits of his muse, Audrey Hepburn, and dozens of other celebrities as one of the first still photographers assigned to capture life on Hollywood film sets, has died. He was 82.
Willoughby died Friday of cancer at his home in Vence, France, said Claire Willoughby, a daughter-in-law.The rise of Life and Look magazines created a demand for more than routine photo stills from movie sets and led to a career for Willoughby that spanned three decades. It took off in 1954 when Warner Bros. asked him to photograph Judy Garland's final scene on the set of "A Star Is Born." His portrait of the freckle-faced star became his first Life cover. Over the next 20 years, he made now-classic photos on the sets of about 100 films, including the 1960s movies "The Graduate," "My Fair Lady," "Rosemary's Baby" and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Writing in 1974 in The Times, entertainment critic Charles Champlin called Willoughby one of the finest movie-set photographers and said his work was impressive "as photojournalism becomes salon art." ( EXTREMELY IMAGE HEAVY )sourceI loved his work -he captured some really great old Hollywood moments/people on film.

 Before the days of outrageous hairdos and avant-garde ensembles, Grammy-nominated Lady Gaga — aka Stefani Germanotta — was just an Italian Catholic schoolgirl from New York. “I was a bit insecure in high school,” the 23-year-old star reveals. “I used to get made fun of for being either too provocative or too eccentric, so I started to tone it down. I didn’t fit in, and I felt like a freak.” But once she started college at New York University, she says she began showing her true colors. “I really let the real me out,” the pop sensation reveals. And clearly the “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” performer hasn’t suppressed herself since. “I’m an outspoken and extreme dresser,” she admits. “I am inspired by photography and art, but mostly by New York.” She defends her quirkiness and explains she does it all for her fans, who can relate to feeling like an outsider. “This is really who I am, and it took a long time to be okay with that,” she says.Source Tags: lady gaga
