He is absolutely a fascinating man, but one who does NOT take NO for an answer.
That has gotten him into places that no one else could go and thus gotten him some big dollar shots.
However, he did make Jackie Kennedy's life miserable and thought nothing of it, only what it afforded him, AND he forced himself on women. There are some pictures of him "kissing" women and you can tell by their facial expressions and body language that they are appalled and disgusted! That crap wouldn't be allowed by anyone today, but the fact is, he was still very proud of those photos. He couldn't see how sleazy he was.
That said - he chronicled our entertainment industry and "public figures" for several decades and did get some great photos for us to enjoy - at their expense.
Now I feel guilty about it.
