Marilyn photographed by Eve Arnold. Describing the shoot, Arnold was to say, ‘…when Marilyn finally emerged from the dressing room, she was sparkling : hair, face, body, fingernails and toenails all newly attended to. Her entourage applauded.’

“For hours she danced & sang & flirted & did this thing that’s Marilyn Monroe. Then there was the inevitable drop, when the night was over & the white wine was over & the dancing was over, she sat in the corner like a child, with everything gone.”
R. Avedon ’57💋

“Marilyn said we needed a bed & some white silk sheets, some Sinatra records & a bottle of Dom Pérignon Champagne. She had a robe on & eventually she slipped out of that & under the sheets, and that was how she wanted to be photographed.” Douglas Kirkland, 1961 💋
