Robin Williams, photographed by Martin Schoeller for The New Yorker in 2002.

"I was hired by The New Yorker in 2002 to photograph Robin Williams, and after doing my research what stood out most for me was that he was a very physical comedian. I came up with this idea to photograph him swinging from a chandelier in a grand hotel room. Most publicists shoot down these kinds of wild ideas, so I didn't tell anyone what I was up to, but rigged up a chandelier at the Waldorf Astoria hotel for him to swing from. When Robin got there and saw what was happening, he lifted up his shirt and showed me this enormous scar on his shoulder. He'd just had surgery and couldn't so much as lift his arm. He was so disappointed! He really felt bad about not being able to do it, because he loved the idea and really wanted to help me accomplish my vision. Unlike most Hollywood stars, he was unfazed by his success and position. He talked to everyone from stylists to the crew to the hotel staff. We ended up asking a maid at the hotel to swing from the chandelier instead, and I asked him to just sit there and read a newspaper, which I think in the end was an even funnier, more unexpected picture."

Mrs. Margaret Josephine Blair was a California woman of 70 who did stunts that a man with iron nerve would hesitate to do. At 55, when all indications pointed to her being an invalid for the rest of her life, Mrs. Blair started in on a system of her own to recuperate the health and strength she had lost. Here she is on the roof of the (old) Waldorf Astoria on April 6, 1922. Dr. Copeland, the city Health Commissioner, said after examining Mrs. Blair that she is the healthiest young woman of her age he has met. This picture shows her walking on the ledge of the hotel's roof.
