Film Series: What Becomes a Legend
Many of Herb Ritts's photographs recall the glamour of Hollywood's golden age, a time when celebrities were larger than life, flawless and impeccable. Ritts's relationship with his subjects echoes certain director-actor relationships dating from the silent era and the eight films in this series showcase this special relationship and the characters that changed culture and society.
