All Night Long
, but I asked to do a special shoot with her. I remember her office called me, asking what other big female stars I had shot. I had to answer I had done none. Nevertheless, one day on the set, Barbra came over. I hear you want to take some pictures of me, she said. What did you have in mind? What colors do you want to use? I answered her straight back. Asked her what colors she liked and the interrogation was over. From then on she was terrific. For a photographer its easy to work with her. She knows her face very well, the angles, the lot. She loves to see my Polaroids and analyze the results. I think a great deal of her success has come from asking questions and being a terrific observer."
