[Signed to Kenneth] Vollbracht, Michaele. Nothing Sacred. First Edition. 2000. First American Edition. 1985. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is inscribed on the half title page, “To Kenneth, Michaele Vollbracht, December 1985.” There is also a third party gift inscription to Kenneth from the fashion designer Cathy Hardwick, who is depicted in the book, and on her page, she has signed for a second time.
This large and lavishly produced monograph fits no template. Michaele Vollbracht, whom the New York Times praised for his “Capote-esque wit,” presents commentary and portraits of various performers and fashion personalities, many of whom were his friends or acquaintances. Moreover, several of the subjects were among hairstylist Kenneth’s regular clients, including Jacqueline Onassis, Marilyn Monroe, and Gloria Vanderbilt.
“The last time I saw Joan Crawford she was in a brass urn. . . It seems strange now. The Campbell Brothers funeral, Myrna Loy in front of me, Anita Loos in front of Myrna Loy. Joan Crawford was now dust. We all knew, Joan hated dust.”
