Marilyn Monroe Book

At a party in the early 1950s, Marilyn Monroe told Eve Arnold she had admired the photographer’s portraits of Marlene Dietrich and wondered what Arnold could achieve with her. This revised and redesigned edition of the 1987 classic, Marilyn Monroe: An Appreciation, captures Monroe’s complex persona through Arnold’s masterful photography. Featuring newly uncovered and restored color and black-and-white images, along with thoughtful commentary, the book offers a visual narrative of Monroe’s life. Arnold’s detailed biography provides rare insights into the stories behind the photos and her distinctive bond with Monroe. This collection stands as a significant historical record of two pioneering women excelling in a male-dominated industry.
