Candid portrait done while I was production manager for the filmed portions of Dateline: Hollywood. It was a five day a week entertainment show on ABC-TV. It starred Joanna Barnes and Rona Barrett. This is part of a collection of Hollywood stars done for personal satisfaction. These photos were not part of my job. Since the job was stressfull they were done at first just to keep from getting an ulcer.
