Famous not only as a lifelong companion to English novelist Christopher Isherwood, Don Bachardy still works as a fine art painter and portraitist. Having lived in Hollywood all his life, he has had the opportunity to know and paint many of the city's luminaries. This is Bachardy's magnum opus, a five-decade retrospective of portraits of such figures as Henry Fonda, Jack Nicholson, Katherine Hepburn, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Lemmon, Tom Waits, Melanie Griffith, Jane Fonda, Fred Astaire, Rita Hayworth, Barbara Streisand, Natalie Wood, Marlene Dietrich, John Gielgud, Ian McKellen, and many more. Photographer extraordinaire Douglas Kirkland contributes images, while novelist Armistead Maupin penned the foreword.
