Terry convinced Faye to meet him by the pool at The Beverly Hills Hotel as early as possible the morning after the Academy Awards. True to her word, she appeared on time at the break of dawn having had barely a minute’s sleep. Terry charmed the staff to let them use the pool for an hour and while he scattered the morning’s papers at her feet, all trumpeting her success. Faye arrived, sat in the chair and placed her golden statue on the table. And with a few snaps, an iconic image was born.

“I wanted to capture that moment, the morning after. The idea was to capture that moment when the actor wakes-up and it dawns on them that, overnight, they’ve not only become a star, but their entire life just changed. This is that moment of realisation.”
