About the Item
Faye Dunaway Oscar Outtake (Stare) Los Angeles, 1977
C-print
40 x 40 inches
estate stamped and numbered edition of 50
The morning of March 29th, 1977, an iconic image of Hollywood was born.
For every photo you know, there’s likely to be at least a dozen other
shots from that same moment. Such is the case with the iconic image of
Faye Dunaway.
As Terry O’Neill remembered:
“We met a few weeks before and struck up a friendship. She was the
odds-on favourite to win an Oscar for her astonishing performance in
‘Network’. I was asked to take a photo of the winner, so I convinced Faye
to meet me at the pool first thing next morning. I didn’t want to take
the expected photo; the one with the actor holding the award, moments
after, with a stunned expression. I wanted to capture something different.
“I somehow convinced Faye to agree.”
As the legend goes, Terry convinced Faye to meet him by the pool at
The Beverly Hills Hotel as early as possible the morning after the
Academy Awards. True to her word, she appeared on time at the break
of dawn having had barely a minute’s sleep. Terry charmed the staff to
let them use the pool for an hour and while he scattered the morning’s
papers at her feet, all trumpeting her success. Faye arrived, sat in the
chair and placed her golden statue on the table. And with a few snaps,
an iconic image was born.
“The other shots are just as interesting. I had her move around the
table a bit, asked her to stand up, zoomed out so you could see the palm
trees in the distance, and then reclined the chair so she could lie down.
She even changed her wardrobe at one point, from her silk dressing gown
to a sharp white suit.
“I wanted to capture that moment, the morning after. The idea was to
capture that moment when the actor wakes-up and it dawns on them that,
overnight, they’ve not only become a star, but their entire life just changed.
“This is that moment of realisation.”
Terry O’Neill CBE is one of the world’s most collected photographers, with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. From presidents to pop stars, he photographed on the frontlines of fame for over six decades.
O’Neill began his career at the birth of the 1960s. While other photographers concentrated on earthquakes, wars and politics, O’Neill realized that youth culture was a breaking news story on a global scale; he began chronicling the emerging faces of the film, fashion and music scenes that would go on to define the Swinging Sixties. By 1965 he was being regularly commissioned by the biggest magazines and newspapers in the world.
No other photographer has embraced in such detail the spectrum of fame, capturing the icons of our age, from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela, singers from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse, big-screen stars from Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot to Nicole Kidman, modern supermodels from Naomi Campbell to Kate Moss, and almost every incarnation of James Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.
He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when they were still struggling young bands in 1963, and pioneered backstage reportage photography with David Bowie, Elton John, Eric Clapton, and Chuck Berry. His images have adorned historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers.
Terry O'Neill passed away in November 2019, but his legacy lives on.
