Synopsis for
Becoming Bert Stern (2009) More at IMDbPro »

Fueled by a raging libido, methamphetamines and a drive to find inner peace, Bert Stern is one of a few remaining Golden Age photographers still working today. This feature-length documentary, BECOMING BERT STERN tracks Stern's dazzling rise, fall and remarkable comeback to reveal an important life, replete with untold truths and never-before-seen photographs. This film is the first to record the wild life of an accidental artist, from his humble beginnings in Brooklyn, to his rise from a mail room clerk at Look magazine, to sitting on the top as one of the worlds most sought after photographers. This iconoclastic artist is best known for shooting Marilyn Monroe in The Last Sitting and over 40 VOGUE covers where Stern employed vision and tenacity to produce his stunning innovations with impunity and hilarity.
