A talent for the film camera, a special relationship with the still lens. Of Marilyn Monroe, her exuberant body and sensual face, many famous pictures remain, printed in our memory as symbols of a brief and intense season of Hollywood stardom. Many of the most intense and unusual were taken by the photographers of the agency, who followed her career in different ways from the beginning to international stardom: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Elliott Erwitt, Eve Arnold, Inge Morath, Philippe Halsman and many others portrayed her on set and in private life. From glamour shots and studio poses to portraits of delicate and disarming intimacy, and the emblematic moments of her acting career: the set of Some Like It Hot and that of her last film, John Huston’s The Misfits. The book, with a text by the critic Gerry Badger, gathers extraordinary pictures in which the many fragments of her life emerge: acting, rehearsing a scene, giving herself to her fans, making up, or simply playing with the camera as only she could. They tell the strength, intensity, beauty and fragility of a woman who became one of the myths of our recent past.
