Among the legendary figures of the last century, the name Marilyn Monroe comes to mind one of the first. Charming blonde, which became the sex symbol of 50, was remembered all over the world for many years.
The extraordinary beauty of Marilyn opened her doors to the upper world: dizzy career of the actress, love of fans and sympathy of the best men of America, brightest outfits and pompous parties.
She knew exactly what she wanted from life, and received everything as a winner.
It is hard to imagine what a star would look like in old age. Unfortunately, many famous people go to the next world in their prime.
Some do not stand the burden of glory, others get tired of crazy fans, someone suffers because of love dramas.
Perhaps, Monroe would not have been so popular these days, having grown old and lost her former beauty, and then having died unnoticed by the public.
It seems that the circumstances of the death of the actress influenced her image of beauty with a tragic fate.
But, no matter how incredible theories of conspiracies the journalists could say, the star can not be returned.
It remains only to enjoy her playing in such cult films as "Gentlemen prefer blondes","Some Like It Hot","Unwanted"And her photographs.
But the pictures of Monroe deserve special attention. Among their countless numbers, experts note the magnificent work of the photographer Yves Arnold.
It was this woman who best experienced the femininity and grace of the beauty, catching them with the lens of her camera.
Yves Arnold was born in 1912 in a family of immigrant Jews from Russia. Her father, a rabbi Velvl Sklyarsky and mother Basia Lachiner gave her a first-class education that influenced the choice of the future profession.
In 1946, Eve started to take photos. In just two years she worked as a photojournalist in the well-known journal "Harper's Bazaar", And in 1957, she became the first woman in the agency Magnum Photos.
It was the photographs of Marilyn Monroe that brought Arnold worldwide fame. After that her clients were Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Clark Gable, Malcolm X, Jacqueline Kennedy, Margaret Thatcher and even the queen Elizabeth II.
Most of the pictures from his personal archive were presented by the photographer to the general public at 2005 in London, where she moved shortly before Marilyn's death.
The actress so fell in love with Eve, that she ordered the last photo session to her.
Sometimes we forget that behind every impressive photo is a great photographer, every brilliant film is the result of the work of the whole team, not just one Luc Besson or Steven Spielberg, and over every tremendous novel was spent not only one night not only a writer, but also a literary editor.
Our memory is arranged so that we remember only the brightest moments of life. Also goes with art, all the names in my head can not be kept, remember only the greatest. Do not forget to also look at the work of Andre de Dines, a photographer who worked with Marilyn for as many as 8 years.
