"Your here, your mine, I am taking you over, your surfaces I will make my own... " -- Richard Avedon

Mike Nichols on how Avedon's iconic photo captures both sides of the Windsors. Charlie Chaplin visits Avedon for his photo and make's it his goodbye to America.

Avedon conducts a Master photography class for students using friend Andre Gregory as a model and asks him: "If you were to die tomorrow, what would you have done differently?". And critic Owen Edwards comments, "In the end, there is only the the face for Avedon."

Critiquing our need to idolize the famous, Avedon creates real hysteria with fake photo-shoot of Mike Nichols and Suzy Parker. Avedon leaves Harpers for Vogue.

Avedon: I left the Merchant Marines for my new father, mother and crazy aunt at Bazaar... I was nineteen and boy was I lucky.
