The following is photographer Bernard Gotfryd’s recollection of his portrait shoot with Gore Vidal
“There wasn’t much time to talk about anything specific, and I had to rush to my next assignment, but we still managed to have a cup f coffee together. When I told him he resembled an uncle of mine who had disappeared during World War II, he said:”I hope you have pleasant memories of him.” “I certainly do,” I said. “in that case,” he said “I’ll take it as a complement.”
A nice interchange. Bernard Gotfryd was a holocaust survivor who later became Newsweek photographer. I’d like to find his book “The Intimate Eye: Portraits by Bernard Gotfryd”.
