This book is beautiful, capturing Marilyn in different stages of her life with, although not new, stunning photographs. The book is beautifully laid out, with linen covers and golden coloured paper edges. It chronologically shows her most iconic photos and there’s a small autobiography of each of the renowned photographers.

The book is published by the MM estate as an official centenary book as June 1 this year (2026) it’s 100 years ago she was born Norma Jeane Mortenson. It’s part of a series of 5 books named The Marilyn Monroe collection, mainly consisting of books about the photographs taken from her by professional photographers. Having a MM fascination, I will probably try to get my hands on most of them 😬

Absolutely stunning book. No new photos but the ones reproduced in the book are of an extremely high quality
There are a few problems whilst lavishly produced the introduction from Rachel syme does a major disservice to Marilyn legacy the book is also filled with fake quotes. You would think that the estate would at least try. But year on year they prove they are not interested in the real Marilyn only the money that can be made from her
