“I photographed the members of Fleetwood Mac several times through the years, but none more memorably than singer Stevie Nicks. When she was named to People’s “25 Most Intriguing People” list for its 1977 year-end issue, the magazine sent me to Los Angeles to photograph Stevie at home. I went up to her house in the hills and rang the bell. When she opened the door, she was dressed in a sexy black dress. I said, “Oh, did I interrupt anything?” She said, “No, no. I was just getting ready for you. Come on in.” Aside from being very attractive, she proved to be extremely relaxed and eager to work with me. Conditions were ideal – I was alone with no assistants and Stevie had no handlers around.
She was also very sweet and in a great frame of mind – and a small wonder. Given the veteran band’s meteoric success after Americans Stevie and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, then lovers, joined Mac’s three British members in early 1975. Stevie was great fun, willing to help me get a provocative, atmospheric take – much of it in her bedroom. Back in the early days, People was the hot celebrity media venue and everybody wanted to be in it. The magazine ran a double truck shot of Stevie in that sexy dress sprawled across her bed. Looking back, I’m amazed at some of the situations we were able to get and shoot. This kind of cooperation rarely exists anymore.”
