Uncle Albert
Flamboyant, "old school charming" and definitely marching to the beat of his own drummer, Uncle Albert has always been one of my favorite relatives.
He left home at an early age, attracted to the glamor of Hollywood where he found fame as a costume designer and notoriety for hosting some of the wildest parties Tinsel Town had ever seen. He was nominated for an Academy Award in 1971 for the film "Mary, Queen of Scots"
Totally fearless, Uncle Albert and his partner Philip were one of L.A.s first "out of the closet" couples.and despite the fact that Philip is a staunch Republican and Uncle Albert is a strong defender of government supported arts, they've been together close to fifty years.
In town for a family wedding, it was the perfect opportunity to do this portrait.
Thanks for all those great stories Uncle Albert, you da man!
