- video - BOURKE-WHITE, Margaret / Lawrence Schiller (Director) / Farah Fawcett - Frederic Forrest (Actors): MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE - VHS Video-Tape / Movie. Futuristic Entertainment, 1989.
1st edition, original-version. "This made-for-cable biopic originally went out under the simpler title Margaret Bourke-White. Farrah Fawcett stars as the famed photojournalist, whose work for Life magazine from 1936 onward gained her worldwide celebrity. The best scenes, showing the dauntless Bourke-White (Fawcett) at work in the most grueling and perilous of situations, are all too fleeting. The filmmakers evidently believed that the audience would be more intrigued by Bourke-White's stormy relationship with her husband, novelist Erskine Caldwell (played with a fluctuating Southern accent by Frederic Forrest). The film's chief assets are the well-focused performance of Farrah Fawcett, and the lensed-on-location sequences in Louisiana and Moscow. Margaret Bourke-White premiered over the TNT cable channel on April 24, 1989."(Hal Erickson in 'All Movie Guide'). - Best condition; rare.
93 minutes; Publisher's colour-illutrated slipcase; 19,5 x 10 2 cm).

Bourke-White, Margaret: Portrait of Myself. 1963. Cloth with dustjacket. Inscribed by Margaret Bourke-White with TLS.
New York: Simon and Schuster. 1963. First edition. Octavo. Cloth and paper covered boards. Edges have a trace of soiling. Lower tip of rear panel is slightly worn else very good in lightly shelfworn and price clipped dustjacket. This copy has been inscribed in ink on the front fly by author and photographer Margaret Bourke-White in her shakey hand, no doubt, a result of the Parkinson's disease with which she suffered from just about the time she turned 50. The inscription reads "For/charming author-/long suffering/___ ___/with best wishes/from/Margaret". On the following page Bourke-White has additionally written in a larger, apparently more shakey hand "the Hand Writing has/improyaed(sic) a little,/I hope/Sept. 10-1967". Finally the author has signed her name in full (again, with an unsteady hand) between the title of the book and her printed name on the title page. Additionally, laid in is a TLS folded twice on the printed letterhead of Margaret Bourke-White which reads "Miss Bourke-White askes me to /apologize for the delay in getting this book to you./She asks me to send you her warmest wishes for a Happy New/Year./Sincerely,/Mike White (signed in ink)/December 28, 1967". The signatory, Mike, was the nickname of the author's sister-in-law, Anne "Mike" White, who was married to Margaret's younger brother Roger. Roger Bourke White (1911-2002) was a Cleveland businessman who co-founded Glastic Corporation. Evidently "Mike" took care of Margaret's dealings during her period of declining health towards the end of her life in 1971. An incredible copy of an excellent autobiography by one of the great and most admired photojournalist's of the 20th century and no doubt the most famous female photojournalist in the world. This unique copy giving some insight, through the declining penmanship, into the last years of her life and her 7suffering. An incredible book.
