	Cecil Beaton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir Cecil Walter Hardy Beaton (January 14, 1904 – January 18, 1980) was an English fashion and portrait photographer.
		One of his earliest clients and, later, best friends was Stephen Tennant; Beaton's photographs of Tennant and his circle are considered some of the best representations of the "young England" of the twenties and thirties.
		The exchange and cross pollination of ideas between this collegial circle of artists across the Channel and the Atlantic gave rise to the look of style and sophistication for which the 1930s are known.

		Cecil seems to have had an unhealthy obsession with ancient royal ladies at this time and he describes himself as ‘extremely proud’ when given the job of accompanying some dowager princess to her car.
		Beaton’s relationship with Garbo was the subject of much gossip on both sides of the Atlantic and is one of the most fascinating and eyebrow-raising episodes of this biography.
		Cecil was at great pains to record in the most minute detail, all his meetings and conversations with Garbo and, as Vickers implies, it’s not difficult to conclude that publication was in the back of his mind.

		This final volume of Cecil Beaton's diary, which takes us through the photographer-designer-artist-bon vivant's final years, heartily makes one wish that his earlier journals could be re-released similarly unexpurgated.
		Beaton waxes evil about (among others) Katharine Hepburn, worries about the aging and death of friends and contemporaries (not to mention his own), and records his sometimes unlikely encounters with seventies pop culture.
