Bert Stern’s photography career began in the mailroom of Look Magazine – where he formed a close relationship with a young staffer named Stanley Kubrick – and quickly took off during the Golden Age of Advertising.  Sought after by Madison Avenue, Hollywood, and the fashion world, Stern, like Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, became not just a photographer but a star in his own right.  This is a story of self-creation – rise, fall, and reinvention – exploring creativity, celebrity, and desire through the eyes of a man who got everything he wanted.  Almost.
