Career

He photographed for magazines such as Vogue, Esquire and McCalls.[1] He made his debut as a feature film director with 1970's Puzzle of a Downfall Child starring Faye Dunaway.[2] He went on to direct films such as Scarecrow[3], which shared the grand prize at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival[4], The Seduction of Joe Tynan[5][6], Honeysuckle Rose with Willie Nelson, Misunderstood, Street Smart in 1987, and The Panic in Needle Park, which starred Al Pacino.[7][8][9]

He was a member of the jury at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.[10]

As a still photographer, one of Schatzberg's most famous images was the cover photo of the Bob Dylan album Blonde on Blonde, released in 1966.[11] A collection of Schatzberg's images of Dylan was published by Genesis Publications in 2006, titled Thin Wild Mercury.[1] Schatzberg still resides in New York City, where he is working on several film projects, including a sequel to Scarecrow.

Personal life

In 1968, Schatzberg was divorced in Cd. Juárez, Mexico, by Corinne Schatzberg, his wife of 18 years, on grounds of incompatibility.[12] They had two children together. At the time of the divorce, Schatzberg was widely known as Faye Dunaway's fiancé.[12][13] In 1969, Dunaway left Schatzberg for actor Marcello Mastroianni.

I was confronted by a dark-haired man wearing a world-weary expression, a black sweater and a droopy Bolivian bandit's moustache. I guessed that this must be Jerry Schatzberg, 40-year-old fashion photographer and Miss Dunaway's true love of two years' standing. He looks about 30, and was once the hero of an article in the late New York Herald Tribune entitled, The Sweet Life of Jerry Schatzberg."
