Marilyn : Intimate Exposures

2012 is the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death and this lavishly illustrated volume celebrates her enduring beauty through photographs by legendary Hollywood photographer Bruno Bernard. Bernard's iconic photograph of Marilyn standing over the subway grate in a billowing white dress is synonymous with Hollywood glamour and sex appeal and many of the images here have never before been published. They cover key moments in Marilyn's life such as her first professional sitting in 1946 and are enlivened by fascinating excerpts from Bruno's journal. Fans of the blonde bombshell will also treasure the stunning, frameable print included with this keepsake book.
