From a humble childhood to a luminous yet fleeting reign as Hollywood’s most iconic star, Marilyn Monroe transformed not only the screen—but the very idea of celebrity. In this elegantly illustrated volume, Michael Conway and Mark Ricci offer a rich visual and narrative journey through her meteoric rise, her pioneering blend of vulnerability and glamour, and the complex forces that shaped her life and legacy. Through rare photographs, archival materials, and critical commentary, the authors unravel the myth while honoring the woman behind it—the actress who dared to make the camera look at what she truly was: fearless, fragile, unforgettable. For cinephiles, cultural historians and admirers alike, this book presents a timeless portrait of a woman who became more than a star—she became a symbol.
