Obituary: Well-known British photographer Terry O'Neill, 81, has reportedly died. He was especially known for his 1960s photographic work of various icons of the era.
One of his marriages was to Faye Dunaway, but the marriage didn't last. Apparently the second marriage did.
O’Neill helped capture an era of cultural and social revolution in Britain. He was one of the first people to shoot the Beatles, and would go on to work with the Rolling Stones, Brigitte Bardot and Sean Connery. O’Neill said of the Beatles: “I was only 20, and the youngest photographer on Fleet Street. It was obvious that John was the one with the personality, so I put him in the front.”
O’Neill was one of British photography’s biggest names and after his pop culture work would eventually photograph Nelson Mandela, as well as the Queen, who he said was the only person who ever made him nervous. “I researched some horse-racing jokes to break the ice and, thank God, she laughed,” he told the Observer in 2018.
He experienced the London blitz as a young child growing up near Heston airfield in west London, and originally planned to become a priest before being told he “had too many questions and not enough belief”. He eventually took up photography after a short stint as a drummer.
You can find some examples of his work here.

Piles upon piles of rumors are swirling about Donald Trump's completely unexpected trip to Walter Reed Hospital. He tried to make it sound as if he just went in for a "routine" exam after he visited a family in the hospital.
The rumor mill is also speculating that he may resign amid all the impeachment investigation for "health reasons." Who the hell knows?
