Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis by David Wills
A portfolio of images from every period in Marilyn Monroe's life, from her earliest sittings in 1942 till just weeks before her death. With more than two hundred first-generation photos - including color photos from the very start of her career - it chronicles her meteoric rise from a humble catalog model to one of the recognized faces in history.
