With a repertoire including Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, the Monkees and the Brady Bunch, Gene Trindl holds the record for shooting TV Guide Magazine covers — more than 200 of them!

We went behind the lens with the late photographer's grandson, Skylar Schofield, who calls Trindl's impressive roster of cover images his "ultimate résumé."




Barbara Eden and Larry Hagman, "I Dream of Jeannie", Feb. 5, 1966

Trindl was renowned for his artistic vision, but he also had an eye for the ladies. "He always talked about Barbara [Eden]," says Schofield. "I don't want to say my grandfather was a playboy, but he definitely had his adventures, and he mentioned her several times in his adventures."

As for the task at hand, the apothecary-jar prop actually belonged to Trindl and is now sitting in Schofield's kitchen.
