Marilyn Monroe and the Camera

Starting with little-known photographs from the 1940s, Monroe's struggles as a starlet, her growth into an American icon, and the later tragic aspects of her life are lavishly and lovingly illustrated here. Not only film stills, but also early modeling shots and images by such artists as Avedon, Cecil Beaton and Philippe Halsman, among many others, make this one of the most fascinating illustrated books on Marilyn Monroe.
