Summary

Celebrity' - a celebration - with wonderful portrait photographs by Terry O'Neill taken from 1950's onwards and a shrewd, provocative and witty introduction by AA Gill.

Celebrity Summary

Celebrity by Terry O'Neill

Celebrity' is often compared to fame but its linguistic roots also leave room for celebration and honour. In that sense celebrity is closer to star quality than to mere renown, the state of being famous. In this sumptuously illustrated book we find Tom Cruise, Brigitte Bardot, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Joan Collins, Michael Caine, Paul Newman, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery and people who have superseded the fads of reputation and proved their celebrity longevity. The range of Terry O'Neill's celebrity portraits is incredible. From Audrey Hepburn to Naomi Campbell, from Frank Sinatra to Kate Moss - this is a true celebration of true celebrity.

AA Gill's characteristically witty and insightful introduction to the book analyses what it is that allows these people to transcend their contemparies in the pantheon of the renowned; what makes some them true celebrities, whilst others are merely and briefly famous.

Celebrity Reviews

loaded with glorious colour and black and white shots of top actors, actresses, models and musicians... O'Neill captures the essence of true star quality in a stylish and often witty way. * OK! MAGAZINE *
Images that both ravish and surprise... as much a chronicle of the times as it is a collection of eye-catching images. * FILM REVIEW *
These are marvellously moody and variously iconic photographic portraits... definitely a collector's item. * PUBLISHING NEWS *
