1958:  Before I started working on Green Mansions, I photographed Audrey and the little fawn deer that was living with her.  The animal trainers advised the production that if they wished the fawn to follow Audrey in the film, then it had to think Audrey was its mother.  So Pippin lived with her for months.  Audrey’s natural calm made her a perfectly suited surrogate mother for this nervous little fawn.  She fed it, took it shopping in Beverly Hills, and even had afternoon naps with it.  It loved her and followed her everywhere.  When Audrey was away, it missed her, and when she came back, it would nuzzle up against her, and be excited to see her.  No one else could come near it, unless Audrey was there.  Audrey’s little Yorkshire, “Famous,” turned out to be very jealous, as it had always been the prima donna in the household.  I have photographs of it pouting behind lamps, grumbling to itself, when the deer was getting Audrey’s attention, like a rival sibling.  — Bob Willoughby
