A most rare and unbelievable treasureAfter sitting in
storage since his death in 1985, André de Dienes's complete Marilyn
archives have finally been gathered together for this exclusive
publication!
Photographer André de Dienes's life was changed
forever one day in 1945 when he met an aspiring young model named
Norma Jeane Baker. They immediately took off on the road together so
that André could photograph her in natural settings across the West;
during their travels, they fell in love and were briefly engaged.
After their romance ended, they remained friends and de Dienes
continued to photograph her. His unique, loving photographs of Norma
Jeane helped to launch her model career and, a few years later, the
film career that was to make her a legend. His entire relationship
with the star, including many private moments never before revealed,
is detailed in de Dienes's memoirs, which were written shortly
before his death in 1985. Recently uncovered and published here for
the first time, these unknown memoirs tell a bittersweet story of
love and friendship, tracing the evolution of a sensitive, ambitious
girl into a deeply troubled megastar. From their trip to see Norma
Jeane's mother in an Oregon mental hospital to Marilyn's visit to
his home the year before her death, de Dienes recounts all of the
emotional moments they shared. This special edition, combining de
Dienes's memoirs and photographs, is at once a touching
autobiography and an exclusive personal exploration into the
psychology, history, and iconography of Marilyn Monroe.
