Marilyn Monroe’s ‘More Natural and Candid’ Side Revealed in Unearthed Photos: See the Pictures


A new side of Marilyn Monroe is shown in the new book Marilyn Monroe: By Eve Arnold, with unearthed and 'candid' photographs of the bombshell actress.

“Halfway through the press conference one of the very thin straps on Marilyn’s dress broke, and there was pandemonium as everyone clamored to find a safety pin,” Eve’s grandson Michael Arnold tells Closer. “Eve’s close relationship with Marilyn allowed her to show a more natural and candid side of her than the more formulaic, flirtatious images captured by many male photographers,” says Michael. “When she saw the frenzy of books and photos that painted Monroe as little more than a sex symbol and dumb blonde, Eve felt she had to speak out about the Marilyn she knew and cherished,” says Michael.
