Celebrate the life, legacy, and enduring fascination of one of Hollywood’s greatest icons with Marilyn Monroe: A Portraitby Rosie Broadley. Published in association with the National Portrait Gallery, London, this beautifully illustrated volume offers a fresh perspective on Marilyn Monroe, exploring the woman behind the legend through an exceptional collection of portraits, photographs, artworks, and archival material.
Far more than a celebration of glamour, the book examines Monroe’s remarkable journey from Norma Jeane Mortensonto one of the most recognisable cultural figures of the twentieth century. Through carefully curated imagery and insightful commentary, Rosie Broadley explores the many facets of Monroe’s identity—actress, model, performer, businesswoman, cultural icon, and enduring symbol of beauty, vulnerability, ambition, and resilience.
Broadley’s engaging text places Monroe’s life within its wider historical and cultural context, examining her impact on cinema, photography, celebrity culture, and contemporary perceptions of femininity. The book offers a thoughtful exploration of both the myth and the reality, presenting Marilyn as a complex, intelligent, and ambitious woman whose influence extends far beyond Hollywood.
Elegantly designed and richly illustrated, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait is an inspiring coffee table book for admirers of classic cinema, photography, fashion, art, and cultural history. Both visually captivating and thoughtfully researched, it is a fitting tribute to one of the world’s most enduring screen legends.
