To ensure the person behind the legacy was captured within the portrait, Jason visited Gerald’s apartment which holds an array of treasured objects and books that reflect Gerald’s interests. He also met with Lee Durrell, to find out more about how Gerald liked to entertain guests, getting a better understanding of the lesser talked about and more casual side of the conservationist.
