Jack La Lanne

This photo I took of Jack LaLanne is one of my favorites not only because of his red skintight jumpsuit but because he was situated as though he was holding up Atlas at Rockefeller Center. His healthy lifestyle and fitness that enabled him to reach 96 years alongside his equally fit life mate, can be a testament and inspiration for everyone.

Michael Jackson and Caroline Kennedy

When I first met Michael Jackson at a New Jersey amusement park this unassuming sweet kid was so humble that I thought he was the boyfriend of the gal who played Alice in The Wiz on Broadway. When he told me sweetly and without rancour "I am not her boyfriend" i later learned he was playing the role of The Tin Man and he was part of The Jackson Five. A few months later, he approached me and asked me to photograph him with Caroline Kennedy and her Mom, Jackie O. I told him it wasn't a good picture and I would ask them to pose with him. He declined shyly and assured me that the photo I took was fine. Years later Jackie had approached him when she was working for Doubleday for a book she wanted to edit sbout his life story. At this time at the Rainbow Room she may not have been aware of his existence.

John Kennedy, Jr.

He was a very charismatic young bachelor at a dinner honoring Desmond Tutu at the Windows on the World on the 106th floor of the World Trade Center before he launched George Magazine. A good natured guy, blessed with looks, money, charm, humor, and built in fame who never got a chance to achieve most of his dreams.
