Footnotes

According to photographer Frank Fischbeck, by coincidence he was in the same departure lounge as Charlie Chaplin at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. Recognizing him, I approached and asked if I might photograph him. He was courteous and gracious and even stood up to greet me with no objection to a few unobtrusive images of him before his flight departed.

Fischbeck met Sophia Loren when she was on location, also in Hong Kong. I hung around the studio set for days, so mush so that my presence was ultimately accepted as part of the scenery.
