Chicago – Holly Randall and Suze Randall are celebrating 50 years of Hustler Magazine with a pair of candid Q & A interviews in the landmark collector’s edition issue. They detail their extraordinary experiences and favorite memories working with Larry Flynt and his iconic brand.
In the spotlight interviews, Suze- who holds the distinction of being the magazine’s first female photographer- opens up about her fearless approach to dealing with the formidable Flynt (“we fought all the time, and that’s what I loved about him”), her first foray into the business (“I started photographing my girlfriends behind the scenes and then selling them to The Sun newspaper”) and today’s fast-paced shooting schedules (“Poor Holly, she has to do four layouts in one day… I would do four days for one layout… plenty of time for models to get into the groove”).
Holly talks about her early challenges in the industry (“it was hard in the beginning. I was ‘Suze Randall’s daughter’… but the person who probably guided me the most was my father”), her natural flair for following in her mother’s legendary footsteps (“I always knew I wanted to be a photographer and take beautiful images of women”) and her thoughts on Flynt (“the content was always beautiful, and Larry was unwavering in his vision… thank you for changing the world, Larry – there will never be anyone else like you. It was an honor to know you and grow up in your presence”).
In addition to reflecting on the profound influence her mother has had on her career, Holly also shares a cheeky vintage photo of Suze breastfeeding Holly as an infant during a photo shoot with the magazine. “Growing up with a trailblazer like my mother, I’ve always been inspired by her boldness and creativity. For me, this special edition of Hustler is a tribute to her incredible legacy , as well as Larry’s and the path they paved for so many of us in the industry.”
