Greta Scacchi set 6 of 8

About this set

Clive Arrowsmith Photographer. The first shoot I did with Greta was for a jewellery company whose name I can’t recall, I think it was De Beers. I also cannot locate the pictures. A few years later she walked into a casting looking so beautiful and vivacious. I leapt up and said ‘Greta where have you been?”. The thing I noticed about her was that she had the most beautiful laugh and was always smiling. She was light and full of vigour and sensual. She had a mystery and naughtiness about her that made you dissolve when she looked at you. Even as a young model, she was very aware that she was a woman with her own feminine sexual power. I shot the image above of Greta for Esquire Magazine in 1981 for an article called ‘Ladies Left in Waiting’ the women who could have been, would have been, potential brides for Charles. Greta looked amazing in this Anthony Price dress. When I explained to her, the concept behind the shoot being women who could have married Prince Charles she burst out laughing and I took this picture. The next time I shot Greta was for a jeans editorial for David Lichfield’s Ritz magazine (above). I could only photograph her from the back showing the edge of her bosom. She was completely at home with herself and her fantastically beautiful body. She had a chameleon like quality where she could change from being a 1930s silent movies siren to a French Cinema
