LINDA RONSTADT,
"HASTEN DOWN THE
WIND," MALIBU, 1975.
"I love Linda. She is a fabulous person," Russell says.
"So low key. We were
shooting on the beach outside some music producer's
house in Malibu Colony.
Shooting away and nothing
was happening. The light
was fading and the horse
just appeared. I shot two
frames: in the first one she
is saying, 'Don't shoot! You'll
scare the horse,' and looked
like you couldn't sell her to
a circus…but in this one
she's a goddess."

THE BEATLES, "HEY JUDE," 1969.
"This was the very last photo shoot the Beatles sat for, at the carriage house at Tittenhurst Park, John's last home in England. I'd been photographing them while they made the record," Russell recalls. "They were bored. The test pressing for Abbey Road was delivered while these
shots were being taken. They didn't know they were going to break up, that this to be was their last photo shoot."
