Jerry Schatzberg (born June 26, 1927) is a photographer and film director.

Career

Schatzberg was born to a Jewish family of furriers and grew up in the Bronx.[1] He photographed for magazines such as Vogue, Esquire and McCalls.[2] He made his debut as a feature film director with 1970's Puzzle of a Downfall Child starring Faye Dunaway.[3] He went on to direct films such as The Panic in Needle Park, which starred Al Pacino in 1971, Scarecrow,[4] which shared the grand prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival,[5] The Seduction of Joe Tynan,[6][7] Honeysuckle Rose with Willie Nelson, Misunderstood (based on a novel by Florence Montgomery) and Street Smart in 1987 which earned Morgan Freeman his first Oscar Nomination.[8][9][10]

He was a member of the jury at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.[11]

As a still photographer, one of Schatzberg's most famous images was the cover photo of the Bob Dylan album Blonde on Blonde, released in 1966.[12] A collection of Schatzberg's images of Dylan was published by Genesis Publications in 2006, titled Thin Wild Mercury.[2] Schatzberg still resides in New York City, where he is working on several film projects, including a sequel to "Scarecrow," co-written with Bruce Springsteen's former publicist, Seth Cohen .

Personal life

Schatzberg was divorced in Cd. Juárez, Mexico in 1968 following eleven years of separation from wife Corinne, who had refused to end the marriage after having lived together for only five years.[13] The couple had two children. At the time of the divorce, Schatzberg was widely known as Faye Dunaway's fiancé,[13][14] but Dunaway left Schatzberg for actor Marcello Mastroianni in 1968.[15] Schatzberg's marriage to French American actress Maureen Kerwin in 1983 ended in divorce in 1998.

I was confronted by a dark-haired man wearing a world-weary expression, a black sweater and a droopy Bolivian bandit's moustache. I guessed that this must be Jerry Schatzberg, 40-year-old fashion photographer and Miss Dunaway's true love of two years' standing. He looks about 30, and was once the hero of an article in the late New York Herald Tribune entitled, The Sweet Life of Jerry Schatzberg.
