Andie MacDowell, New York, Riva Magazine, 1988

By the time we did these portraits during a cover shoot and profile, for the British publication RIVA in the fall of 1988, Andie had already established herself as a top actress. Her personality and character were still the same as on the day I’d first met her. Andie always stood out from the crowd, she was and is always sweet, genuine.. and that comes across in her film roles.

As a matter of fact she told me she was just about to begin filming "Green Card" with Gerard Depardieu.  I couldn't believe it.  I told her,  "You're going to have a great time working with him."  Vincent Canby, the legendary former film critic for the New York Times, once wrote that "Depardieu is perhaps the greatest non-English speaking actor in the world."  (He does speak English but not as his native tongue.)  I told her about my scene with Gerard, in the movie, "Une femme ou deux", essentially playing myself, a New York fashion advertising photographer.  I was very excited to see the finished film when it was released.  I think they had great chemistry in the film, and it was a very good role for Andie.
