ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

These people deserve our gratitude and thanks for their enthusiastic support and unwavering confidence.

Carrie Kania, the former editorial director of It Books, fanned the spark of an idea into a consuming passion.

Her successor, Cal Morgan, carried the torch for us.

The skill, diligence, and perspicacity of our editor, Denise Oswald, enabled us to assemble a narrative that wedded the voices of fifty years ago into a coherent celebration of youth’s ascendance.

Behind the scenes, our agent, Rob Weisbach, deployed his wisdom and charm.

Many, many hours of taped interviews were diligently transcribed by Lisa Ter Haar, Alice and Grace Ter Haar, and Robert Morgan.

And finally, we owe a special debt of thanks to the gracious and generous Vidal Sassoon, who invited us into his home, his body wracked by illness, knowing he was only weeks from death, and allowed us to sift through his memories.
