Marilyn: Lost Images from the Hollywood Photo Archive

by Boze Hadleigh (Contributor)

From the beginning of her modeling career in 1944 as Norma Jeane Mortensen to her death as the voluptuous Hollywood icon in 1962, Marilyn Monroe posed for thousands of modeling and publicity photos, scores of which have long been forgotten or abandoned in neglected studio archives. This book collects 100 of the rarest of the rare, seldom previously seen images of her brief modeling career, early days on the 20 th Century Fox lot, then in candids between scene takes and traveling as a public figure as the wife of Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio. For the Monroe fans who think that they have seen it all, this book will provide a new lens on a beloved American icon.

[Terri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fact is, you would look at this book unless you loved Marilyn - so there’s a certain amount of bias when rating the book. The photos are gorgeous. The text, very easy to read - really just captions under the photos with a little extra verbiage thrown in. Basically the author is presenting more obscure photos and saying Marilyn loved to pose and understood the value of the process. I recommend this book.
