She allowed a LIFE photographer to photograph her bald and scarred (and stitched together) after chemo and brain surgery. Very powerful and dramatic photo. It's good to see some people have enough sense of humor as well to laugh at the way they look. And not just for news photographers, but for anyone who's involved in straight photography, journalism, documentary or any other kind of photographer that appreciates what makes photography unique. - -- Eric Carlsbad, CA If you give me six lines written by the most honest man, I will find something in them to hang him.
