  There are some people whose 15 minutes will never be up. They are beyond well-known, more than famous. They are legends. This book collects memorable, and in many cases seldom-seen photos of faces that need no introduction: Garbo, Garland, Nureyev, Nijinsky, Spielberg, de Mille, Presley, Cobain. To provide insight into these remarkable people, the photos are accompanied by observations from others who are legends or near-legends. Divided into groups such as Originals, Visionaries, Leaders, Players, Eccentrics, Couples and Forever Young the volume explores the lives of those we idolize and vilify.
