A Splash of Marilyn
It was the assignment of an ambitious young photographer’s dreams: capturing Hollywood’s sexiest star for Look magazine in 1960. The chemistry with Marilyn Monroe seemed promising, and their professional relationship deepened when he photographed her on the set of her final, never finished movie, Something’s Got to Give. As the 50th anniversary of her death approaches, Lawrence Schiller, in an adaptation from his memoir of those sessions in VanityFair, recalls Monroe’s mix of vulnerability and cold calculation as she guided his camera toward the ultimate revelation—breathtaking nude shots, some unseen till now—and their tense encounter the day before she died.
