Footnote
Of this iconic image, O’Neill says, 'I call this picture The Morning After. I wanted to get a different kind of 'Oscar' picture - one to illustrate what the award meant to actors and actresses. Faye had won Best Actress for Network (1976) the previous night and I made her meet me at the Beverly Hills Hotel at 6.30am for this shoot. She hadn't slept and the implications of a watershed event in her career were only just beginning to dawn on her.'
