The Resume

    (January 16, 1921-January 6, 2004)
    Died in Manhattan, New York
    Photographed 'Cosmopolitan Magazine' covers for 30 years (1965-1995)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was sometimes credited only as 'Scavullo.'
    He divorced model Carol McCallison after just 3 years.
    In 1975, he photographed a very young, very unclothed Brooke Shields.
    He was diagnosed as manic-depressive in 1981.
    During model Gia Carangi's final 'Cosmo' cover shoot in 1982, he instructed her to sit on her hands, hiding track marks on her arms under the folds of her fluffy gown.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and Helen Gurley Brown, 'Cosmo's' editor-in-chief, conceptualized the cleavage-baring 'Cosmo Girl.'
    He shot album covers for Diana Ross and Barbra Streisand.
    At the height of his career, he was a Hollywood favorite, commanding $10,000 per sitting.
    He and life partner, stylist Sean Byrnes, remained together for over 30 years.
    Renowned for his hard work and professionalism, he collapsed from heart failure moments before filming Anderson Cooper.
    His death came just 10 days prior his 83rd birthday.
