Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Douglas Kirkland

Audrey Hepburn wears a white riding hat and blazer, clutching white sunglasses with her white-gloved hand. Elizabeth Taylor stares alluringly at the camera, her deep, violet eyes vying for attention, with a prominent tracheotomy scar. Douglas Kirkland photographed anybody who was anybody in classic Hollywood. The Toronto-born photographer got his start at Look magazine and went on to shoot for Life in the ’60s and ’70s. Kirkland, who still works as a photojournalist, lives in the Hollywood Hills but he has family in Middlebury, and that’s how his star-studded photographs found their way to the walls of the Jackson Gallery at Midd’s Town Hall Theater. Stop in to see Marilyn Monroe, Paul Newman and the rest of the A-list through February 28. Pictured: Elizabeth Taylor.
