Her rise to stardom and her tragic death are chronicled in numerous books, and it would seem that every known photograph of Monroe has been unearthed and published. And yet there is a Marilyn we've never seen, a woman whose special beauty is now captured in this wonderful album. In 1945 in Los Angeles, a young photographer, Andre de Dienes, searched the agencies for a model to pose in artistic portraits. A girl named Norma Jean Baker introduced herself. Captivated by her freshness, de Dienes soon fell in love with her. Together they traveled through the western states, as de Dienes photographed his protege in a variety of settings and moods. Through his lens, Norma Jean was transformed into Marilyn Monroe. While she refused his marriage proposal, they remained close friends, and de Dienes became her preferred photographer. This book celebrates the metamorphosis of a starlet into a magical beauty. Lovely, spirited, fragile, heartbreaking in their innocence, these photographs were treasured by Andre de Dienes until his death in 1985. Now published for the first time, they reveal the essential qualities that would make Marilyn Monroe the most photographed woman in the world."
