More about the book
As Norma Jeane Baker, who would later become Marilyn Monroe, began her career as a modest photographic model in the summer of 1945, one of the most passionate love stories unfolded: Marilyn Monroe's lifelong and unparalleled affair with the photographic camera. Over a whirlwind of seventeen years, Marilyn rose from pin-up model and starlet to megastar. Her early and tragic death elevated her to mythic status. This volume reflects that journey, gathering 152 of the most beautiful photographs of Marilyn Monroe taken by nearly forty photographers from 1945 to 1962. In addition to detailed captions for each image, the book includes an interview conducted by French writer, journalist, and translator Georges Belmont with Marilyn in 1960.
