Celebrating 58 years of Breakfast at Tiffany’s with gorgeous photographs of AudreyHepburn by BobWilloughby ✨

I could never have guessed this when I first photographed her at Paramount Studios in 1953. The new girl in town. She had just completed the filming of Roman Holiday and was at Paramount in Hollywood for publicity photographs.

I really didn’t know what quite to make of Audrey when I first saw her. She certainly was not the typical image of a young starlet, for that was what I had been sent to photograph. I watched her across the room as she was being photographed by Bud Fraker, and she did have something… but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it until I was finally introduced to her. Then that radiant smile hit me right between the eyes, warming me inside like a shot of whisky.

While many of these photographs of Audrey are well known, they have never before been seen together as a complete collection. I would like this book to be my salute to that magic sprite. A forest creature who, before one’s eyes, could transform herself into a princess. A rare human being, whom I respected and loved."of Taschen

After being given a camera as a gift for his 12th birthday Los Angeles-born Robert Hanley “Bill” Willoughby pursued photography up until his death in 2009, aged 82. Forging a successful career as a Hollywood photographer that spanned over five decades, his iconic images of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Fonda and Judy Garland, defined the youthful glamour and elegance of the 1950s and 1960s.
