Peter C. Borsari, 67; Celebrity Photographer Shot Candid Moments
Photographer Peter C. Borsari, 67, whose celebrity snapshots over three decades included candid moments of Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor and Jack Nicholson, died Monday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Longtime friend Laura Luongo said Borsari died of complications from elective knee-replacement surgery.
A native of Zurich, Switzerland, Borsari moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1960s and quickly joined an elite cadre of successful celebrity photographers. His photos of Taylor and Richard Burton in Mexico launched his career.
Over the years, Borsari provided photographs for magazines, newspapers and industry publications worldwide.
