Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe
EXCEPT FOR MAYBE ELVIS, NO OTHER POP icon has exercised such sway over the American imagination as Marilyn Monroe, both for how she lived and how she died. ‘ Monroe Marilyn ‘ such a simple phrase, yet she was the Last Star; she flamed out at the height of her incandescence. Marilyn epitomized both sides of the American Dream: her dumb-blond persona embodied the last bloom of prefeminist “innocence”; her suicide, all that’s rotten about the culture of celebrity – and possibly worse. A footnote to the assassination of J.F.K.? (Could she have been a Kennedy) Thirty years after her death, the suspicions surrounding it are stronger than ever. Still, there is Marilyn, caught here by Cecil Beaton in a never-before-published photo at the Waldorf Astoria in 1956.
