The Duchess of York!

Birthday: October 15th (Libra)

Birth Place: London, England

Fergie met her future husband Prince Andrew at a party at Windsor Castle. Later they divorced, and in her autobiography, My Story,Fergie candidly says, "I was never cut out for royalty."

My photo shoot with Fergie was in the office of the President of Bloomingdale's. We were pressed for time because Fergie was making an appearance downstairs to promote her children's book, Budgie the Little Helicopter. Just after I started taking pictures a publicist snapped loudly, That's it! The session is over!

Before I could ask for more time, Fergie spoke up in my behalf and said, I don't believe the photographer is through yet, are you, Mr. Capri?

No, I'm not, I smiled.

Then carry on.

After the shoot the Duchess shook my hand and said, The pressure is hell,isn't it?!

Sarah Jessica Parker!

Listen for Sarah's voice in the upcoming Shrek 3.
