Milton Greene’s “Marilyn Monroe” reveals the mortal beneath the image—playful, spirited, fragile and appealingly human. Believing that beauty was in the soul, he shot insightful images of numerous stars, including photos of Marilyn Monroe, which resulted in an enduring friendship during which he helped to make her one of the most famous women of her time. Initially known for his fashion photography with Look, Life, Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue, Greene (1922 -1985) gained international acclaim with his photos of Hollywood’s 1940s and 50s icons.
