“I made more photographs of Crawford perhaps than any other. She liked to pose. She was very pliable. She gave so much to the stills camera. She would work at it. She’d spend a whole day, changing maybe into twenty different gowns, different hairdos, changing her makeup, changing everything. She’d spend maybe an hour between changes just getting herself ready for the next attire. In a sense she used this opportunity to try to present a new image that might possibly work for her whole screen personality. I would start out with some kind of different approach before she even arrived. Every time there was a different kind of lighting, to a certain extent, or different background or poses. Crawford had the closest face to Garbo’s, to perfect proportions. Crawford had strong jawbones, that’s about all I’d say, because her cheekbones were good, and her forehead, and her eyes were good – maybe a little on the large side.”
