Lee, the biopic of Lee Miller is the subject of Vogue’s October cover story and her name will soon be on everyone’s lips. Here’s what you need to know.
publishes Miller’s written and photographic account of an American Tent Hospital in France. “As we flew into sight of France I swallowed hard on what were trying to be tears, and remembered a movie actress kissing a handful of earth,” Miller wrote. “It was France. The trees were the same—with little pantaloons like eagles; and the walled farms, the austere Norman architecture.” Her prose is full of unexpected detail, and emotions ranging from rage to empathy.
She is Paris when it is freed. “I was with the first American troops in the liberation of Paris and the first thing I did was to go to see my old friend Picasso. Picasso always said I was the first American soldier he saw.” Traveling to Saint Malo, which was supposed to be calm, she encountered combat. “Everywhere I went things seemed to happen, maybe because I have no sense of direction,” she related in 1974. Once, after I’d gone back to London to get all my stuff I was assigned to a tank-crafter to get back to France. The landing craft got a signal in mid-Channel to go to Saint Malo. I was supposed to be covering something quite peaceful, but when we got there, there was a terrible siege and battle.
