“Don’t confuse me with the facts, man.
I’m a celebrity sensation scooper, not a court reporter!”
Divine is in the ‘grace jones’ picture, for those wondering who that is grace is laughing at.
How wonderfully radiant did Elizabeth Taylor look?
How times have changed. I remember seeing Ron Galella’s photos, and the paparazzi style was seemed imposing at the time. Today it’s just the norm. They’re everywhere.
What about Sean Lennon and Yoko Ono in the Michael Jackson picture?
That’s Galella in the Brando shot. The helmet is because Brando had previously punched Galella, breaking his jaw and knocking out teeth.
Love the work, when Stars were Stars and people actually had Talent . Thank you Ron
Great photos! thanks for sharing.
If they hate being seen so much, why not let go of being famous?
