Famous American paparazzi Ron Galella died on May 1 at his home in Montville, New Jersey, at the age of 92. According to The New York Times, the cause of death was congestive heart failure.
The photographer gained popularity in the 1970s while following former US First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The photo of Onassis with her hair blowing in the wind is considered one of the most famous paparazzi photos of all time. In 1972, the court banned Galella from approaching Onassis from within about 10 meters. Despite this, the paparazzi repeatedly violated the ban and stopped the persecution of the former first lady in 1981, when the judge threatened to jail her for 60 years.
In 1973, The Godfather star Marlon Brando punched Galella while chasing him, breaking his jaw and breaking five of his teeth. According to the photographer, the actor paid him $40,000 as a court order regarding the incident. The paparazzi also filmed Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, Sean Penn, Bridget Bardot and other celebrities.
