    Billie Holiday in 1949 by Carl Van Vechten. From Farah Jasmine Griffin’s If You Can’t Be Free, Be a Mystery: In Search of Billie Holiday:

The photographer remembers photographing her for two hours, and while she was initially despondent, she returned from a brief sojourn “on a different plane, all energy, sympathy, cooperation and interest.”
