Book release: THEY DARED TO DREAM – HOLLYWOOD’S “A” LIST BEFORE THEY WERE STARS written and photographed by Karen Bystedt

(MMD Newswire) November 21 , 2008 — Karen Bystedt, arrived in Hollywood in 1988, she had one goal; to photograph actors who would one day be the superstars of the silver screen. Hollywood was a city where there were as many photographers as there were waiters, Bystedt needed to set herself apart from all of her competition, and that’s just what she did.

Bystedt made her rounds to all of the personal managers and talent agencies to compile her list of actors. Once she had had the information that she needed, she just called them up and simply stated “I would like to photograph you”. Bystedt took photographing these upcoming stars to a whole new level, doing what no other photographer had yet done; she interviewed them, getting personal, intimate details of their lives as she took their photograph. This was the time when there were none if very few agents, managers or PR people advising them what they should or should not discuss with Bystedt.

Some of these actors include: Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Lawrence Fishburne, Courteney Cox, Djimon Hounsou, Patrick Dempsey, Brendan Fraser, Jared Leto, Heather Graham, David Duchovny, Stephen Baldwin, Willem Dafoe, Christian Slater, Josh Brolin, Neve Campbell and Patrick Swayze.
