I was struck by how insistent people were on obtaining the official portrait.The one and only official portrait. ©L'Osservatore Romano On April 28 that year, two photos arrived from the... |

| Most people think Billy Pappas is crazy. And why wouldn’t they? Who other than a crazy person would spend more than 8 years of his life drawing a single portrait? And of a celebrity, no less? But that’s what Pappas did. Every day, seven Billy Pappashours a day, Pappas stood in front of an easel, arms steadied by slings and drew, with a razor sharp pencil, what he believes to be the most detailed, precise and life-like drawing ever created. His 14” × 17” work is based on Richard Avedon’s 1957 photograph of Marilyn Monroe. It’s not an iconic photo, but it might show Marilyn Monroe... |

Hildegard Hammerschmidt-Hummel from the University of Mainz, Germany, examined the portrait in 1996 and pronounced it an authentic representation of Shakespeare, painted in 1609.
