The Lion in Winter

In November 1992, Adweek’s Noreen O’Leary spent three fascinating days with David Ogilvy at his chateau in France. At 81, he was just as passionate and opinionated about the ad business as ever. And he eagerly expressed his unwavering philosophy with the conviction that had become his trademark. His famous curiosity was also in full bloom; he asked as many questions of our writer as she put to him. Here, we remember David Ogilvy with photographs and comments from that visit, which turned out to be his last major interview.
