I want it to be fun for me as well as fun for them."
Here are a few of Goldsteins behind-the-scenes stories.
Keith Richards:The person whos always himself and never a rock star is Keith Richards.
What you see is what you get, and hes very open, Goldsmith says.
One of my favorite pictures in the book is a double-page spread of him.
Hes just a gentleman and a lovely person all the time.
At that time, he had cancer, which caused him a lot of pain.
He was just open and positive and didnt show the pain that he must have been going through.
The Go-Gos:Goldsmith shot the band members early in their career at a house they shared.
she says, laughing.
People get better as they continue to play.U2wasnt very good in the beginning, either.
Chrissie Hynde:Chrissie Hynde didnt want any makeup, Goldsmith remembers of her session with the Pretenders singer.
Prince:Prince was pretty new at that point, Goldman says of her 1981 shoot with the star.
But I mean, everybody knew when they heard Prince back then I did, anyway.
That was why I suggested toNewsweekthat I wanted to work with him.
Michael Jackson: Goldsmith photographed Michael Jackson several times over the years.
He was pretty much the greatest show on earth as far as Im concerned, she says.
