Let the pictures speak for themselves. Ousted Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Officer Patricia Dunn is no longer the same person she was a year ago. Pictured in 2005 in a Hewlett-Packard promotional picture as a glamorous, confident and radiant corporate executive Dunn’s recent appearance in court on charges of spying on her colleagues shows another subdued, embattled and fatigued side of her personality.
Clearly portraits made in a studio -- those that have been retouched will appear differently than the unaltered pictures made under the unforgiving glare of television camera lights during a court appearance. Nevertheless, the contrast of the two faces of Patricia Dunn is striking. The harshness of the relentless media attention, recurrent cancer and mounting legal issues is taking its toll. Once named by Forbes Magazine as one of the world's most powerful women, the pictures now reveal someone that fallen from the corporate ladder she had once climbed without seemingly missing a step.
