NZDavid Posted January 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I saw a fascinating doco on the History channel about an upcoming movie on war photographer Dickey Chapelle, who covered WWII and Vietnam, where she was killed in action. A very gutsy lady, with strong opinions, who defied contemporary rules and regulations by wading into the thick of battle alongside Marines armed only armed with her trusty Leica cameras -- judging by the movie, a III of some variety and an M3. The movie stars Jennifer Aniston and was produced by Brad Pitt (made a while ago?); I don't have any more details. Maybe someone knows more, but worth checking out. For more on Dickey Chapelle, see /www.photobetty.com/dickey_chapelle/15. and http://www.wisconsinhistory.org. Cheers, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Garofolo published a book on her life and photographs in 2015. He was involved in cinema and wrote a screenplay but I don't think it was ever made. There is a documentary on her, 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
