Eve Arnold, a celebrated photojournalist, died in 2012 at the age of 99. A new book recently published, 'Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold,' features new photos of the iconic actress.
Marilyn Monroe hoped to shed her sex symbol status when she starred in 1961’s 'The Misfits,' her last completed film — but the movie star was plagued with problems before she met a sudden end. One of Hollywood's most recognized actresses passed away in 1962 at age 36. Over 100 photos of the icon taken by photojournalist and friend Eve Arnold, including some never-before-seen shots, are now being featured in a new book, 'Marilyn Monroe by Eve Arnold.
Eve photographed Marilyn over a number of years,' he said. 'She was known for her ability to get to know her subjects and form a close bond with them, which makes her work very different. It’s much more candid. She wanted to capture the genuine person behind the persona. And Marilyn Monroe is one of the people that she was able to do that with because of the friendship they had.' Michael said Monroe leaned on his grandmother for support while on the set of 'The Misfits.
According to the book, Huston allowed Monroe to finish the scene her way. But once cameras stopped rolling, he cut it from the film. 'I’ve seen ‘em before,' he told Monroe when she looked at him for approval. 'Let’s get the people away from the television sets,' Monroe reflected, as quoted in the book. 'I love to do things the censors wouldn’t pass.
Eve was aiming to humanize the people she photographed, and that included the work she did with Marilyn,' said Michael. 'At the time… photography in Hollywood was very glamorized. It wasn’t so much about the real person, it was about the image. I think Eve… started to popularize the idea that you could show something genuine about the person.'
