Includes powerful portraits of such celebrated actors as Marlon Brando, Catherine Deneuve, Jack Nicholson, Cate Blanchett and Johnny Depp

The photographer’s most popular and accessible work, these engaging, mostly unpublished, pictures provide a rare portrait of these larger-than-life personalities in unguarded moments
