Peter, I don't know one actress from another but I do know an image that speaks in volumes to me. The light and pose in the first is exceptional, it's classy and in it's own way silently sexy if that makes sense?
The second is captivating! That just sits there looking pretty, not forced all natural and I love it!
I could ramble on but these are special and compliment both the photographer and the model.

Thank you Karl. There are a few people that come along in your photographic career that just make it a whole lot easier for you to do your job. Bebe was one of them. And in person she was the antithesis of her character on Cheers and that's exactly what came across in these images. And mind you, because we photographed (with my assistant Patti that night) we only had two or three minutes at best with each person backstage at the theater we were at.

Thanks Tom. I'm just amazed that I found these after 34 years.
Trying to figure out just what this event was, and trying to identify another actress I had photographed that night, I went to Bebe's IDMB page and looked at the list of everything where she appeared as herself and found this comedy show listed from 1988 and that the unidentified actress was indeed the very recognizable Faith Ford.
Ah! I was thinking that was actual film!
Excellent! Still miss that stuff...

Yep. T-Max 100 processed in T-Max developer was always a great combination. I'm not missing it as much as I was with Velvia going for something like $25 a roll for 135-36.
There is just something about her presence and the character she played on Cheers (which by the way we started watching from the beginning last week along with Frazier some the best laughs ever) has always turned me. Thank you for sharing...

Alberto - She's pretty incredible, both as an actress and a dancer and is the kind of subject that just makes it a whole lot easier for the photographer. I don't think we spent more than ten minutes with any single person we photographed that night, and I say we because I could not do this without at least one assistant, plus there was a hair and makeup team backstage for the tv broadcast, so definitely we.
