Sometimes, when I’ve gotten too short a haircut, I hope it doesn’t make me look like Gertrude Stein. In his long career Beaton photographed almost everyone who was anybody, among them Gertrude Stein. I’ve long been interested in Cecil Beaton. Cecil is Cecil Beaton, no slouch on the fashion scene as a photographer and designer of costumes and sets for “Gigi” and “My Fair Lady”. I was 11 or 12.
