Douglas Kirkland’s career as an award-winning photographer spans five decades and six continents and his archive and collection contains some of the most internationally recognized and iconic photographs of the past decades, such as the famous kiss between newlyweds Diana and Charles on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day. He worked for both Look and Life magazines. Organized decade by decade, Freeze Frame pictures these magnificent people of theatre — whether stage or screen, or both — from the 1960s to the present.

Many of the images here are behind-the-scenes shots, unique and historic because Kirkland was given sole and unprecedented access to movie studios, locations, and sets. Among the extraordinary images are photographs of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton caught in an embrace in 1963, Dudley Moore playing the piano in his Malibu home in 1982, and the on-set wildness of the extravaganza Moulin Rouge in 2000.
