Quotes from Zadie Smith, Elton John and more reflect on Monroe's image and legacy in this small-format companion book
A smaller, more intimate companion to Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait, Reflections is an anthology of visual and verbal tributes to Marilyn Monroe (1926-62), one of the most celebrated icons from the 20th century who devoted her life to the silver screen. Said Monroe, "If I am a star...the people made me a star. No studio, no person, but the people did." Her beauty and charisma were captured in images taken by some of the great photographers of the era, including Eve Arnold and Sam Shaw. Published to coincide with the actress' 100th birthday and with an accompanying exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London, Marilyn Monroe: Reflections showcases a number of loved photographs alongside legendary quotes by Monroe and those who knew and admired her, including Zadie Smith and Elton John. From her early years as Norma Jeane to her unforgettable roles in The Seven Year Itch and The Misfits, this beautiful gift book offers readers a personal perspective on the well-loved icon. Monroe sought agency in shaping her career, which is illustrated through her own words and her collaboration with photographers in creating her image. A short introduction by Rosie Broadley, Senior Curator at the National Portrait Gallery, explores Monroe's enduring legacy and cultural impact.
