The result is this extraordinary collection, silver screen goddesses, rock stars, politicians, porn stars to the pope. Alongside these candid moments of Andy Warhol, Dennis Hopper, Elizabeth Taylor and many others are Boas' inside stories of his meetings with these stars, told in a humourous sometimes shocking style., "Remarkable...compulsively absorbing."-- Ken Johnson, The New York Times " Starstruck unexpectedly celebrates the beauty of the amateur-one whose vocation is not driven by a hunger for money, but by love. The book is a breath of fresh air."--Warren Beatty ..".wildly entertaining...An obligatory purchase for all pop culture collections."-- Library Journal This pop culture classic unearths candid photos of the most famous superstars of the 60s and 70s alongside forgotten and cult personalities, captured through the lens of a monumentally obsessed fan.
