| Title: | Fidel Castro |
| Description: | When he traveled to Cuba in 1984 to photograph Fidel Castro for a Parade magazine cover, Eddie Adams said, “he kept me waiting in a hotel room for two weeks. One day I just got up and told his aides, ‘F… him, I don’t need this s…’ get me on a plane, I’m leaving.” A few days later Adams returned to Havana at Castro’s request. “This time he met me immediately. He put his arm around my shoulder and said, ‘My dear friend, I hear you have a horrible temper,’ and laughed and laughed. That was Castro. He told jokes through the whole shooting.” |
