Behind the Lens: Patrick O'Donnell's Photography Legacy


Listen Later

Ever wonder what presidents are really like when the cameras stop rolling? Peggy O'Donnell reveals the untold stories behind her late husband Patrick's six-decade career photographing 11 US presidents, the Dalai Lama, and Hollywood royalty—from Richard Nixon's Whittier roots to secret service protocols at San Juan Capistrano. This isn't just about iconic images; it's about the man who built a family, taught photojournalism, and became the first line of defense between presidents and the public. Discover the legacy captured in What Do 11 US Presidents, the Dalai Lama and Whoopi Have In Common?—a memoir that proves life itself is the ultimate photo op.
