Marilyn - Jean-Jacques Naudet

Marilyn ... the word instantly evokes glamour, charm, voluptuous beauty, but also an alluring childlike vulnerability. It's precisely this multi-faceted and complex appeal that created her incredible popularity and ensures her continuing fame. Each of the various photographers she worked with cultivated a different side of Marilyn's beauty and personality. Here are the firsthand accounts by (as well as the photographs of) some of Marilyn's most trusted photographers telling what it was like to photograph this legend: Henri Cartier-Bresson; Andre de Dienes; Cecil Beaton; Richard Avedon and Milton Greene.
