Marilyn Monroe was the quintessential sex symbol of the 1950s. An American actress, singer, and model she became a major film star after starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures of the 1950s. She is arguably the most celebrated of all actresses, and although she made only 30 films in her lifetime, her legendary status and mysticism will remain with film history forever.

Description: Hard bound with dust jacket. Blue cloth boards with titles in orange. A very nice copy with only the most minor wear to dust jacket edges. Over 2500 shots that make up this monumental classic tribute to Marilyn Monroe were taken by renowned fashion photographer Bert Stern over the course of a three-day sitting-the last time Marilyn would pose in front of a camera. Six weeks later, the actress was found dead in her home. Even despite the ominous facts surrounding this sitting, the images it produced project a haunting, almost dreamlike quality unlike any photographs ever taken of the starlet.
