As an ersatz photographer, I am aware of what it takes in some small degree to photograph people, no less celebrities. Jack Mitchell's persona allows those about him to drop all pretense and expose themselves to the world in a glimpse of a moment frozen forever in time through Jack's lemses. The rarity of capturing that elusive moment is a particulate spot made available to a select few. And that is as rare as the individual behind the camera, Jack Mitchell is such a rarity and his photographs should be an iconic moment frozen in our psyche forever. There were many individuals photographed here from a different era whom I was unfamiliar with, and this will lead me to discover a bit more about their lives and who they were at the time that photograph was shuttered. This book is a monolith monument, get a copy while it is available.
Don't be fooled by the rip-off titles of other photogs.

Mr. Mitchell has done simply an outstanding and unique job as a photographer of famous people. There is another book out with a similar title that is inferior in all respects. Stick with ICONS AND IDOLS by Jack Mitchell.
Each photograph makes you feel like you are touching a star.

Jack Mitchell has worked magic in transforming his photographs into works of art that explode with life. They are vibrant and alive, capturing the essence of each 'Icon and Idol'. By the very nature of celebrity we think we "know" these people. Mr. Mitchell has captured these public people by penetrating through the veneer to take us into their respective souls. His photographs are pure works of art that one never gets tired of viewing.
