... Lilly, Rose and Scar in Cafe Lehmitz. 'Rose was a serious guy. He only had eyes for Lilly' Hamburg, 1970.
Lilly was angry with me when I took this picture because I had been photographing her so much. She said: "Can't you just behave like normal – have a beer and be like everyone else? Do you have to take pictures all the time? Please finito, now!" You see the little guy behind her? That is Scar. He was a very famous sword-swallower. He talked about it a lot and he got into a lot of fights – but he was still a nice man.
