An exclusive and a scoop: Interview with Madame Claude, the greatest brothel keeper of modern times, who had never shown her face before. The tax authorities were threatening her, and she wanted to drop the names of some of her very grand contacts, to calm things, or make them go away. Photograph by Helmut Newton.
