Amazon Prime has a documentary on, now, about Ron Galella, the photographer who snapped many, many famous people, "in the day."
He photographed President Kennedy's widow, Jacqueline, in Central Park one afternoon -- the Secret Service guy stepped in front of him and told Galella, "You have enough."
Galella said, "OK, I'm going."
And Mrs. Kennedy called out, "Mr. Connolly, smash his camera!"
Every time I've read that anecdote, I've wondered about its accuracy. (Would Jackie say a violent phrase like "smash his camera"? Was she going all gangstah on us...?)
And some genius made the title of the Galella doc, "Smash His Camera."
Hahaha, perfect.
