REMEMBERING BERT STERN 1929 - 2013


Melina Mercouri


Christian Dior-New York


"The Melina Mercouri laugh - a quick intelligent flash of flesh-and-blood amusement; no tricks no bitter undertones."


"In the teeth of Vogue's snowstorm, Melina Mercouri posed to the music of Greek records she brought with her to the studio (sad, but stimulating), tossed back errant flakes at the photographer, saying good-naturedly, '"He wants to kill me, this man."'
