About the Author

Oscar Abolafia (born in 1935) is an American photographer known for his outstanding photojournalism of the celebrities that made the 1960s and 70s truly extraordinary. At a young age, William Vandivert, one of the founders of Magnum Photos, took him on as an assistant and showed him the ropes about technical and lighting skills. Abolafia's work made the pages of world-famous magazines such as People Magazine, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. Over a span of 50 years of work in the field of photography, he was able to build personal and intimate relationships with the most enduring stars of our age, such as the Kennedys, Liz Taylor, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, to name but a few.

J. · December 10, 2023

this book has some great photos but it is repetitive with the people featured. i was happy to see robert de niro and dolly parton featured.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting book but the cover was scratched up.

C. · January 19, 2024

There was no dust cover or jacket on this book and the back is scratched up. It's interesting enough to look through, primarily celebrity photos. I may keep it since it is the back that's scratched, but not worth the money spent at all. This should have been sold as Used, may end up returning.

Great book
