Kelly Preston
for Harper's Bazaar
"Over the years, I was given
many assignments to photograph
up-and-coming actresses. Many
were on TV, and since I didn't—
and don't—watch much televi-
sion, I had no idea who most of
them were! I would call my sister
and ask; she usually knew what
they were known for. This was an
amazing session with Kelly, shot
at Malibu Beach Colony. This was
in the early 1980s, before she
became famous and married
John Travolta. I got many amazing
photos of her on this shoot."
Connie Sellecca for Cosmopolitan
"Connie was part of a spread on new talent. This was shot at a swimming pool somewhere in L.A., back in the days of "big hair!"
It was a challenge because I had to figure out a creative way to photograph her—she was eight months pregnant. A model sets
her character based on what she's wearing and the nature of the assignment but actresses are not used to being in front of a
camera when not playing a character. They think, 'I'm posing for a fashion magazine!' and start doing just that: posing."
