Charmian with George and Martin, Sydney c. 1967
Charmian, Sydney, late 1968. Contact sheet for article by Clifford Tolchard in the Bulletin.
Published in 1965, Images in Aspic anthologised Clift's first year of column pieces. For a short time, the cover photo was used at the top of the column. It portrays the newspaper's idea of what the Charmian Clift should look like — but this was not how she really was.
