Our Fair Lady: The many facets of Hepburn's beauty, on and off set.
In his distinguished career as a Hollywood photographer, Bob
Willoughby took iconic photos of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor
and Jane Fonda, but remains unequivocal about his favorite subject:
Audrey Kathleen Ruston, later Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston,
best known as Audrey Hepburn. Willoughby was called in to shoot the
new starlet one morning shortly after she arrived in Hollywood in
1953. It was a humdrum commission for the portraitist often
credited with having perfected the photojournalistic movie still,
but when he met the Belgian-born beauty, Willoughby was enraptured.
She took my hand like...well a princess, and dazzled me with that
smile that God designed to melt mortal men s hearts, he recalled.
As Hepburn s career soared following her Oscar-winning US debut in
Roman Holiday, Willoughby became a trusted friend, framing her
working and home life. His historic, perfectionist, tender
photographs seek out the many facets of Hepburn s beauty and
elegance, as she progresses from her debut to her career high of My
Fair Lady in 1963. Willoughby s studies, showing her on set,
preparing for a scene, interacting with actors and directors, and
returning to her private life, comprise one of photography s great
platonic love affairs and an unrivalled record of one of the 20th
century s touchstone beauties."
