Jelly That Outgrew Peanut Butter

Imagine the best grape jelly, less sweet and more stylized — and with the addition of wine and herbs, more adult.

Annie Leibovitz is as famous as the people she photographs. The stylized, hyper-realistic portraits she produced, had a long line of celebrities beating a path to Leibovitz’s door. But now the genius behind the lens is close to financial ruin -- a victim, some say, of her own relentless artistic ambition.
安妮萊波維茨的名氣和她拍攝對象一樣大，她拍出的別具風格、超現實肖像，吸引一大堆名人爭相上門。但是現在這位鏡頭後操刀的天才正面臨財務破產，有些人說，她是被她自己無盡的藝術野心所害。



beat a path to someone’s door：片語，蜂擁前往造訪。例句：Filmmakers will beat a path to your door after you made a name.（你闖出名號後，製片家就會爭相上門。） (管淑平)


beat a path to someone’s door
Come to someone in great numbers, as in Ever since she appeared on television, agents have been beating a path to her door. The term beat a path alludes to the trampling action of many feet. [Late 1500s]
