"ARNOLD,," Arnold Schwarzenegger had a Questions & Answers Discussion About His Life Thru Photos, "ARNOLD" by Taschen Followed by "Terminator 2."

 By Laura Medina




Arnold  Schwarenegger's Questions and Answers talk was a mini, live version of his Netflix documentary, "Arnold," while promoting his life story in photos by Taschen, "ARNOLD."

He said making that book was like producing a movie.  It was ten years in a making.  It costs a lot of money. He mentioned getting publishing rights from living photographers is easy but getting rights from dead photographers is tough.  He and Taschen have to research then track down the living heirs of the late photographers' estate.  When he was Mr. Universe through-out the Seventies, he was photographed by late, legendary fashion and art photographers.  In compiling his Taschen book, he has to deal with a late photographer's accountant to gain access to publish the photos from fifty to forty years ago.

Arnold refuses to call himself, a self-made man.  He's humble and honest enough to acknowledge a many of mentors who helped and advised at every stage in life.

Then, the audience watched "Terminator 2."
