Terry O’Neill is a lucky man. The names of the women in his life reads like a list of Hollywood’s most beautiful actresses. Married to Faye Dunaway for four years from 1983-87 (the couple have a 28- year-old son, Liam), he was also good friends with Brigitte Bardot, Raquel Welch, Audrey Hepburn and Ava Gardner, all of whom he has photographed. Does he have a favourite?
“Ava Gardner was stunning,” he says. “I met her when she was 40-odd, but she was still great. She must have been even more beautiful when she was younger. All the girls in those days, Lana Turner, Raquel Welch, Elizabeth Taylor, were special. They all looked different. Today celebrities all look the same; they seem to be off a production line.”
Still, Gardner stands out in his mind, not the least because she helped the photographer get close to Frank Sinatra. O’Neill’s photographs of the singer, which chronicle their friendship from 1986 to when Sinatra died in 1998, are currently on exhibition at Gallery One in Dubai.
“I told Ava I was going to photograph Frank and she gave me a letter to give to him,” O’Neill says. “To this day, I don’t know what was in the letter, but he read it and said ‘You’re with me, kid’ then proceeded to ignore me. But that letter opened every door for me. I had access to anywhere he went, including his dressing room. And that was thanks to Ava. I think he had a bit of a thing for her, even though they were divorced by then.”

John Frankenheimer’s follow-up to The Manchurian Candidate is as intimate and subdud as its predecessor is flamboyant and energetic. Burt Lancaster is calm and calculating as the steely-eyed military hawk General Scott, who opposes the president’s (Fredric March) plan to end the cold war with a bold nuclear disarmament plan. Lancaster’s longtime friend and frequnt costar Kirk Douglas is his smiling, joking right-hand man, Colonel “Jiggs” Casey, whose easygoing manner is jolted by evidence of a possible plot to overthrow the American government. Scripted by Rod Serling from the novel by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey, the film plays much like a classic live TV drama (the medium that spawned both Frankenheimer and Serling), with the drama arising from conversations and confrontations and the action largely limited to scenes within the Pentagon and the White House. An ominous undercurrent of danger seeps through the realistic (and often real) settings of the film, conveyed chiefly through the intensity of the excellent ensemble performances. Notable among the supporting cast are Ava Gardner as a lonely Washington socialite who was once the general’s mistress, Edmond O’Brien as an amiable alcoholic senator, Martin Balsam as the president’s shrewd but skeptical secretary, and underrated character actor George Macready as the wily presidential advisor. –Sean Axmaker

To coincide with the recent 80th anniversary of Ferragamo, the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art mounted an ambitious commemorative exhibition. The gorgeous accompanying catalog, SALVATORE FERRAGAMO: Evolving Legend 1928 -2008 (Skira Editore, 2008), features fascinating archival photos, sketches, and drawings, exploring company founder Salvatore Ferragamo's design process - which melded painstaking construction techniques, comfort, and wildly creative design. Most of the Hollywood glitterati of the day were fans, including Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, and Marlene Dietrich.

Here I present the top-twenty most infamous love triangles in television, film, and life. From the seductive powers of Kelly Taylor and Camilla Parker-Bowles (yeah, just let it be) to the faithful partners scorned, like Mia Farrow and Dita von Teese, let's take a walk down the boulevard of broken hearts....

- Nancy Sinatra - Frank Sinatra - Ava Gardner: Mrs. Ole Blue Eyes was no match for the former Mrs. Mickey Rooney. Frank Sinatra left the mother of his children Nancy for the beautiful Ava Gardner, who at the time held more power and popularity in Hollywood than Frank. She secured her paramour his Oscar-winning role in "From Here to Eternity" which revived his career. Unfortunately the passion in their marriage died out quickly and the two divorced a few years later.
